Creating a circuit

If you select a custom symbol without a Circuiting record attached, the tool attaches the record to the current symbol, as well as to all subsequent symbols in the circuit. In this case, specify whether an electrical or communication circuit is being created.

Based on the item’s record, the tool determines whether this is an electrical or communication device. The Circuiting Tool dialog box opens.

Parameter	Description
Circuit Information	Enter the circuit information (used on the panel schedule)
Panel	Select the associated panel
Circuit #	Enter the circuit number
Trip	Enter the trip rating
Wire Size	Enter the size of the wire
Conduit Size	Enter the conduit size
V.A./Watts	Enter the total V.A./Watts rating

3. Enter the desired information for the circuit and the objects in the circuit.

4. Continue clicking on the items to be circuited in the order the circuit loop should be drawn.

5. To complete the circuit, click in an empty area of the drawing. Confirm that you wish to place the Home Run marker.

The Circuiting tool generates a Home Run marker and phases are denoted as specified.
