CAD Plan Design / Re: Auto cad colours

« Last post by Mert on 13 October 2021, 09:07 »

Hi Ryan_T,

Actually there is no global "print in colour" feature unfortunately, however, if you select the items or all and go to Properties tab and then under Printing you will see Print figure in colour. You can set this to Yes to print the selection in colour.

That goes for line weights too.

CAD Plan Design / Auto cad colours

I have some existing drawings, I have a lot of line which are coloured but when I go to print or save as PDF they are not in colour and cant seem to figure out what to do?

Hello RCDGuy,

Changes apply only to the active network. To edit a circuit path you need to close the open switch first. The same applies in rearranging the circuits and/or modifying protection devices etc.

Also,
I cannot make the 2 length of cable from MSB and EMSB different.

There is something I do not understand.

1.   SSB 2
I have a switchboard SSB 2.  There are 2 incoming to this switchboard – 1 from MSB and the other from EMSB
I created the feed from MSB.  I then create tye EMSB and connect this EMSB to SSB 2.  This feed is supposed to be the primary feed.

Problem noticed:
•   Physically I have no objection over the display.  However:
•   When I change the breaker in the EMSB for SSB 2, it does not reflect the change I had done.
•   I believe the change is for the CB at MSB

Other problem
•   At EMSB, I noted that I cannot shift the feeder for SSB 2 to a location I wanted.  It stayed at the location I created the connection to SSB 2
•   The SLD on the left do not reflect the circuit breaker to SSB 2 from EMASB although the feed from MSB is clearly indicated

Please advise whether what I experience was a result of using the program or that I did not follow the steps correctly.

ElectricalOM for New Users / Re: TT fed from TNCS

Yes, you can do this. If you navigate to Earthing and tick the use box next to Local earthing, you can define values for your new board. You should also tick Isolated box to make it a TT.

ElectricalOM for New Users / TT fed from TNCS

« Last post by RCDGuy on 11 October 2021, 08:39 »

I am going to feed a small workshop, a former garage, from the CU and I want to use an electrode and do a TT for it. My original board is not a TT so can I do this with ElectricalOM?

Thanks in advance

The KNA range is aluminium busbars so you need to select the Al - Aluminium conductors option. Then it will list the aluminium rage including KN. See the screenshot for help.

In plan there is no any specific symbols for containment. Of course you can create one but usually is better to use muli-lines or just polylines with a specific line type. See the screenshot for some samples

I'am installing Canalis (Schneider Bus-Bar) range KNA63ED4306 but am unable to locate this on the system, can this be added and also other types of Canalis.

Also on Plan design where are the symbols for the different types of containment???
