Distribution board

You are here: Modeling and design > Electrical > Distribution board and electrical diagrams

The distribution board is the central interface between the structures in the building model and the electrical diagram.

The function has a number of levels and the at the same time, it is:

Insert distribution board into the project

A distribution board is a complex functional unit and must first be created. Afterwards, you can insert it into the model as an object.

Configure distribution board

You develop the internal structure by filling the distribution board with electric circuits, using circuit layouts as an aid. The distribution board type determines the selection of the circuit layout and various emphases in the application of the functions.

Moreover, frequent changes are necessary: You insert new electric circuits, delete those that are unneeded and move the existing ones. In addition, you modify individual electric circuits by inserting new components and changing or deleting existing ones.

Reorganize distribution board

Changes in the distribution board cause subordination in the numbering and generate an unsymmetrical current loading. Suitable operations can be used to arrange the numbers and designations, optimize the current loading and correct the dimensioning. In the description, we assume that the distribution board exists, is open and the Circuit List tab is active.
