To Recalculate Wire Size

When Circuit Builder inserts a circuit, the parameters used to size the wires are saved on the motor or load symbol as Xdata. You can recalculate the wire size data for selected motor or power feed load representations.

1. Click Schematic tabInsert Components panelCircuit Builder drop-downRecalculate Wire Size. Find
2. Select the motor or power feed load symbol.

   The Wire Size Lookup dialog box displays.

   Note: If the necessary load xdata does not exist on the selected motor or load symbol, the Select Motor or Select Load dialog box displays first.
3. Adjust the parameters as necessary.
4. Select a wire conductor size from the list.
5. Select a grounding conductor size. A suggested minimum size is preselected. This is controlled by the appropriate AMPG* table in the electrical standards database file.
6. (Optional) Enter a description for the parameters, click Save As, and enter a name for the output file

   The input parameters, wire sizes, and selected wire size are saved to an external file. This can be either a new file or appended to an existing file in xls, csv, or text format.

7. Click OK.

The software updates the wire layer name to reflect the selected size (preserving any color substring in the existing name) and updates the connected wires.
