Breaker Totals

Breakers are listed twice: once with the device with which they are associated, and again in a separate section that totals all of the breakers in the project. The breaker quantities do not include main disconnect breakers, which are listed separately as part of the distribution equipment description. The project totals are grouped by voltage and AIC rating.

Feeder Lengths

Feeders are also listed multiple times: with the equipment with which they are associated, in a total for the project, and by feeder if Feeder Length by Feeder was checked. The length of the feeder serving each equipment is listed with the equipment. The feeder length is labeled as either being Calculated or Fixed. Feeder lengths labeled Calculated were calculated based upon the location of the distribution equipment on the drawings. Feeder lengths labeled Fixed were input directly by the user and are not based upon the drawings.
