The Schedule and Length Settings dialog box is used to manage length calculation settings for the selected distribution equipment, as well as how or whether the distribution equipment is displayed in different schedules.
Schedule Block: The block used for the distribution equipment schedule. This list is based upon the settings in the Distribution Equipment Schedule Blocks command.
Length Calculation Method
Connected Feeder Length Calculation Method: Sets the feeder length calculation method when measuring from this distribution equipment to another distribution equipment. See the Feeder Length Settings Dialog Box section for more information.
Branch Circuit Length Calculation Method: Sets the branch circuit length calculation method when measuring from this distribution equipment to a light fixture, receptacle, or other device. The Set Default button allows you to change the Circuit length calculation method setting in the Distribution Equipment options section.
Feeder and Circuit Make-Up
Feeder Make-Up: The extra length of wire included in the feeder length to account for the wire used for distribution equipment connections. It is used in the fault calculation, voltage drop calculation, and takeoffs. The Set Default button allows you to change the Feeder make-up setting in the Distribution Equipment options section.
Branch Circuit Make-Up: The extra length of wire included in branch circuit lengths to account for branch circuit connections. It is used in the fault calculation, voltage drop calculation, and takeoffs. The Set Default button allows you to change the Branch circuit make-up setting in the Circuits, Load Types, and Wire Sizes options section.
Add Branch Circuit Make-Up For Each Device: Whether the length specified in Branch Circuit Make-Up is added for each device on the circuit. The Set Default button allows you to change the Add branch circuit make-up for each device setting in the Circuits, Load Types, and Wire Sizes options section.
| • | Yes: The make-up added to the branch circuit length is multiplied for each device on the circuit. |
| • | No: The make-up is only added to the branch circuit length once, regardless of the number of devices on the circuit. |
Show in Feeder Schedule: Whether the upstream feeder for the distribution equipment is displayed in the feeder schedule.
Show in Fault Schedule: Whether the distribution equipment is displayed in the fault schedule.
Show in Voltage Drop Schedule: Whether the distribution equipment is displayed in the voltage drop schedule.
Show in One-Line Diagram: Whether the distribution equipment is displayed on the one-line diagram.
Show in List: Whether the distribution equipment is displayed in the list of distribution equipment of this type.

Feeder length calculation method: Sets the default for the Feeder Length Calculation Method setting. Circuit length calculation method: Sets the default for the Branch Circuit Length Calculation Method setting. Building angle: Sets the default value for the Building Angle field. Feeder make-up: Sets additional length to be added to feeders for connections. This option can be further customized with the Ignore make-up on feeders shorter than this option. Branch circuit make-up: Sets additional length to be added to branch circuits for connections. This option can be further customized with the Add branch circuit make-up for each device option. |
