You can create cables in your plant for several purposes. Smart Electrical specifies the following cable categories according to the purpose of the cable: power, control, grounding, and instrumentation. The software supports compliance with the strict regulations governing cable definitions by using standard reference cables as a basis for all the cables that you create in your plant. Reference cables contain technical cable data such as voltage rating, ampacity, resistivity, cable material, and data relating to the construction of the cable. For this reason, you must initially create all your reference cables in the Reference Data Explorer.

The software allows you to organize your reference cables in families known as cable specifications. When you select a reference cable to use as a basis for your plant cable, you must select the appropriate cable category and cable specification for the reference cable.

Also, when you size plant cables, the software looks for the appropriate reference cable based on a particular cable specification and conductor arrangement.
