Apply a Typical Circuit to an Item - Intergraph Smart Electrical - Help - Hexagon

Applying a typical circuit to an electrical item in your plant allows you to create a new circuit with predefined properties. The software automatically associates the new circuit with the selected plant item. You can apply a typical circuit to all loads, all converting equipment items, and circuits.

1. In the Electrical Index, expand the folder hierarchy by selecting the + icons or by double- selecting the folders.

2. Navigate to the folder for the equipment type that you require and do one of the following:

   • Expand the folder and select an item from the list.

   • Select the folder, and in the list view pane, hold CTRL while you select more than one item.

   

   • You can apply a typical circuit to all loads, all converting equipment items, and circuits.

   • You can also select more than one item by selecting a subset of item tags in the EDE.

3. Select Tools > Apply Options.

4. On the Apply Options dialog, select the Typical Circuit tab.

5. Select Enable typical circuit.

6. Beside the Typical circuit box, select Find.

7. On the Find dialog, select Find Now to display the available typical circuits.

8. From the list of typical circuits, highlight the typical circuit that you want to assign to the equipment.

9. Select OK.

10. Under Apply to, select one of the following options according to the rule the software uses to apply the typical circuit:

    • All items - Applies the typical circuit to all the selected items.

    • Items with no typical circuit - Applies the typical circuit only to items without an existing typical circuit. Use this option to add a typical circuit only to new items among the items that you selected.

    • Items with a different typical circuit from the selection - Changes the typical circuit of the selected items to the current typical circuit. Use this option to add a typical circuit to items with a modified typical circuit definition.

    • Items with the same typical circuit as the selection - Updates an existing typical circuit for the selected items.

11. Select Apply.

• If you apply a typical circuit to an item that is already associated with a circuit, the software adjusts the components of the circuit to match the typical circuit specified by the item.

• If you apply a typical circuit that includes associated cables to a circuit, the software creates cables in the plant and associates their 'To' sides with the circuit.

• If you modify the components of a typical circuit that already has a reference from an item, the software does not update the change in the reference until you next apply a typical circuit or a profile to the item.

• If the item that you are applying the typical circuit to is connected to a feeder circuit, the system replaces the circuit so that it matches the applied typical circuit as specified in the profile.

• If the item is connected to feeder equipment other than a circuit (such as a variable frequency drive, a transformer, or a battery bank), the software does not apply the typical circuit.

• If more than one item is connected to the same circuit, the software changes the last applied typical circuit for all the items.

• You can clear the typical circuit of an item that is not connected to any circuit by selecting Clear the last applied typical circuit.

• You can apply a typical circuit on a circuit, provided that no load is connected to the circuit.
