Answer

This can be done by using the Cable Sizing calculation as shown in the attached example:

  • Choose the method “Cable Reinforcement” in the Cable Sizing command.
  • Select a feeder that contains the line elements you want to find cable types for.
  • Set the mode to “Recommendation” and assign a folder from the library that contains cable types (TypLne) you want to assign.
  • Set thermal and voltage limits on the constraints page.

After the execution, the Cable Sizing command will select types for each line that fulfill the constraint requirements. Study Case “1 Cable Sizing” shows the network after the cable types were assigned to the network.
