On the Reference Cable Selection page you are required to select the reference power cables that you want to export.

Cable details

This data window displays a list of reference power cables and their properties. The list depends on the selection method that you chose on the previous page. If you selected the All power cables option, the list contains all available reference power cables. If you selected the Power cables with selected cable specifications option, the list contains only those reference power cables that have the cable specifications that you selected on the previous page.

  • The software exports the reference cables to the cable library file that you specified in Options Manager and appends the new cables to the list of the existing cables in that library.

  • If you export reference cables that already exist in the cable library, the software overwrites the old cables with the newly exported cables.

  • There are certain cable properties that must be defined for the reference cables prior to exporting them. These properties form the ETAP cable headers and they are all mandatory for ETAP. Any reference cable that lacks even one of these property definitions is rejected by the software after the export process. The following properties must be defined before starting export:
