Title: Parallel conductor It(A) critical message
Post by: mattwilson83 on 08 November 2023, 09:44

I always get a critical message when using parallel conductors, the It(A) is only calculating the single conductor and not the parallel conductor. Is there a way to clear the critical warning.

EOM calculates and displays the result for one conductor of a parallel bunch, so, what you see is the current would pass through via one conductor of the whole bunch. To remove this you need to reconsider your cross-sections.

Spacing the cables, if possible, can help as the grouping factor will not be considered
