Multiple supplies from other distribution nodes

A switchboard can also be supplied from multiple supply circuits both from the same or  a different distribution node. The procedure is the same as described above. In fact, if there is another distribution node available, this will also be listed on the Supply Selection list together with any available source.




If the user selects a distribution node as a supply, ElectricalOM will create a connection between this node and the selected switchboard.



Multi-supply option is available both for three phase and single phase circuits.

It is important to understand that even if multiple supplies are connected to a single switch board, they will not run at the same time in parallel and only one of the sources can be active at a time. In order to model a parallel supply operation, please refer to Parallel source operation... under Functions Menu.
