To Create an Overhead Transmission Network

To create an overhead transmission network

1. Create a new circuit.

   For more information, see Managing Electric Circuits.

2. Optionally, select the Transmission profile to display feature containers relevant to creating a transmission network.
3. In the Device container, click New Breaker. Specify the location for the breaker.

   For transmission networks, the breaker must be assigned to a structure, for example a substation.

4. Use the Structure attribute in the Breaker form to create an association between the breaker and the structure.
5. In the Tower container, click New Tower or create the tower from the Document Explorer.
6. Position the tower.
7. Specify the tower model to display a cross section.

   For more information on pole and tower cross sections, see Defining a Node Cross Section Template in Electric.

8. In the Conductor container, click New Transmission Conductor.
9. Draw the conductor by clicking on snap points in the tower cross section. Start with a breaker. Complete the conductor at the final breaker.

When you digitize a conductor that runs across several towers, segments are created automatically between the towers, if not yet existing. For example, you digitize a conductor that runs from a breaker across several towers to the final breaker. Then, when you digitize a second conductor that runs across the same towers, the system will propose snap points that follow the previously created conductor. You do not have to click all the snap points again. Instead, click the final breaker to accept the proposed snap points.
