Power Up Your Project with
Electrical Families
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Understand the parameters associated with power connectors and how they relate to panel schedules
• Define connectors for non-power electrical elements• Understand panel families and how to create panels and devices for
custom electrical systems• Use spaces and zones to spatially organize systems
In the Family Editor…
• System Type• Number of Poles• Power State Factor• Load Classification• Voltage• Apparent Load• Power Factor
What’s Important?
It’s all about Connector Parameters
1. Voltage2. Apparent Load3. Load Classification4. Number of Poles
It’s as easy as…
1. Create a family defined as Electrical Equipment.
2. Select “Other Panel” under Part Type.
3. Assign the Connector to the correct System Type.
1. Select a cell in the panel schedule template. 2. In the Choose Category drop-down, select a category.3. In the Add Parameter drop-down, select a parameter.
