Choose this option to select an existing reference power cable.
Reference cable
Display the power cable you selected on the Select Reference Cable dialog.
Opens the Select Reference Cable dialog, which contains reference power cables.
Specify construction
Select this option to define a new power cable based on a specified conductor arrangement. This option is available only when you define a reference power cable for an item profile and a reference circuit.
Conductor arrangement
Defines the number and arrangement of the conductors in the power cable. The following standard options are available:
Conductors
Specifies the number of conductors within the power cable used for carrying the current, excluding the neutral, the ground, or additional conductors. If you selected Single-core or Multicore as the conductor arrangement, this option allows you to specify the number of conductors or cores in the cable that carry the electric current.
Additional conductors
If you selected Multicore as the conductor arrangement, this property specifies the number of additional non-current-carrying conductors, such as ground wires.
OK
Inserts the specified power cable between items of equipment under the equipment item you selected in the Electrical Engineer.
