Associate a Power Cable with Electrical Equipment - Intergraph Smart Electrical - Help - Hexagon

This procedure explains how to associate a power cable with an electrical item by making the association in the Electrical Engineer.

1. In the Electrical Index, expand the folder hierarchy Wiring Equipment > Cables.

2. Under the folder Power Cables, select the required cable and drag it under a feeder circuit in the Electrical Engineer.

3. In the Electrical Engineer, right- select the cable, and on the shortcut menu, select Common Properties.

4. Select the Design Data tab and note that the circuit path appears under From, in the Tag box.

5. Close the dialog, and in the Electrical Index, select the item of electrical equipment with which you want to associate the cable.

   You can select any load that does not already have an association in the Electrical Engineer. For the rules that govern the conditions under which you can drag items onto other items, see .Rules for Associating Electrical Equipment.

6. Drag the item under the cable in the Electrical Engineer.

7. Open the dialog for the cable again and on the Design Data tab, note that the item tag for the equipment appears under To, in the Tag box.

• If an item already appears in the Electrical Engineer, you can drag a cable onto the item where this is allowed.

• You can associate a power cable with a motor by defining a motor profile with that cable and then applying the profile to the required motor.

• Changing the association of a terminated cable by dragging it to another equipment item in the Electrical Engineer, disconnects this cable from the terminal strip of that equipment. The software disconnects the cable without displaying a warning message.
