  1. In the Reference Data Explorer, expand the folder hierarchy Wiring Equipment > Cables.

  2. Expand the required cable folder: Power Cables, Control Cables, or Grounding Cables.

  3. Right-click the required cable and on the shortcut menu, select Common Properties.

  4. Enter values for the cable properties on the Reference Cable Common Properties dialog according to the available catalog information. You must enter values for those properties marked with an asterisk.

    To enable sizing of a power cable in the plant, you should enter values for all the properties on the General tab.

  • You can edit the properties of a reference cable as long as it has not been used in the Electrical Index with any plant item or if the reference cable is not part of any existing profile or control station in the Reference Data Explorer.

  • Short circuit sizing calculations for plant power cables use data in the Conductors lookup tables, and this data is then used to select the appropriate reference cable. For this reason, if you change the values of reference cable properties, it is recommended that you open the Data tab of each lookup table to ensure that appropriate data related to the reference cable is available, and if it is not, to add the data on the lookup table.

Do not change any of the values on the Structure tab for the conductor lookup tables.
