Branch circuit device: Equipment connection |
Up Previous Next |
These values are displayed when the Device Type is set to Branch circuit device: Equipment connection. Family Edit Dialog Box Family Settings The settings for the family. The values set in this section are used unless they are overridden by settings in the bottom Type Settings section. Device Type: The type of electrical device. Each type has different values that can be set. Displayed here are the settings for Branch circuit device: Equipment connection. Circuit Description: The description that will be displayed on circuits to which this device is connected. Load: The load defined on the connectors in the family. This value is read-only and cannot be changed in this dialog box. Modify the values in the connectors to change this value. Isolated Ground: Whether the equipment needs an isolated ground wire. If set to Yes, an isolated ground wire is included in the wire callout for the branch circuit connected to this device. OCP Graphic: The graphic family used for the upstream OCP when the device is inserted on the one-line diagram. The values in this list are based upon the One-Line Diagram Feeder Graphics command.
OCP Type: The graphic type used for the upstream OCP. The values in this list are based upon the selected OCP Graphic. Feeder ID Graphic: The graphic family used for the feeder ID when the device is inserted on the one-line diagram. The values in this list are based upon the One-Line Diagram Feeder Graphics command.
Feeder ID Type: The graphic type used for the feeder ID. The values in this list are based upon the selected Feeder ID Graphic. Show on AutoCAD One-Line Diagram: Whether to show the instance as an equipment connection on the one-line diagram created using the Export to AutoCAD command. This setting can be overridden for each instance using the Instance Edit command. FLA / BCSC: The full load amps (FLA) or branch circuit selection current (BCSC). BCSC is used to size the breaker and wires for motor-compressors (see NEC 440.22 (A) & (C), NEC 440.32 & 33). FLA is used to size breakers for motors (see NEC 430.52). MCA: The minimum circuit amps (MCA). Used to size wires for multimotors (see NEC 440.35). MOCP: The maximum overcurrent protection (MOCP). Used to size the breaker for motor-compressors (see NEC 440.22(A) & (C)). OCP Trip: How to size the breaker for the branch circuit to which the equipment is connected.
Conductor: How to size the conductors for the branch circuit to which the equipment is connected.
Motor Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the motor load when it is used during fault calculations. Motor X/R Ratio: The X/R ratio of the motor load when it is used during fault calculations. Type Settings The settings for specific types in the family. Values set here override the values set in the Family Settings section. Circuit Description: The circuit description for this family type.
Override Equipment Values: Whether to override the equipment connection values set in the Family Settings section for this family type. |
