Designing busbars installations

Thanks to the Legrand or PiN ENERGIA library of products that are available in the Manufacturers library) command it is possible to create projects of busbars installations both in 2D and 3D.

 

Example of a busbars installation project

Hint

In order to receive a detailed bill of materials it is recommended to design busbars in 3D.

Libraries content

 

In libraries we will find all elements that are necessary to design complete busbars installations.

Transformers, switchgear and various accessories are also available.

Inserting and connecting object on the drawing

Inserting objects is intuitive, and the library usage does not differ from general principles used in designing in CADprofi program.

All busbars have appropriately defined connection points, thanks to which application can automatically connect inserted object with an object that is already in the drawing. This process makes it faster to design installations, especially in 3D view, freeing the user from the hassle of determining the insertion points and rotation angles. Program also verifies the correctness of connections, thus ensuring the correct execution of the project.

Designing busbars installations is based on insertion of elements with automatic connection to the elements that were previously inserted. This process is repeated until the whole installation is prepared. This design model is very smooth and quick (even in 3D), and also includes the required precision.

When choosing objects user should pay attention to the Insertion point settings. Appropriate selection of insertion point allows to automatically connect objects. In the event of incorrect connection, a message is displayed informing about the lack of possibility to connect the busbars ends, giving the possibility to rotate the connected item.


 

 

Correct object connection

Notice

Automatic object connection is available only for objects that fit to each other – usually within the same system.
When connecting, the end of the busbar is chosen that was located closer to the point indicated by the user.
