Parameters

name  String

Name of the new wire type.

materialType  WireMaterialType

Wire material of new wire type.

temperatureRating  TemperatureRatingType

Temperature rating type information of new wire type.

insulation  InsulationType

Insulation of new wire type.

maxSize  WireSize

Max wire size of new wire type.

neutralMultiplier  Double

Neutral multiplier of new wire type.

neutralRequired  Boolean

Specify whether neutral point is required.

neutralMode  NeutralMode

Specify neutral mode.

conduit  WireConduitType

Conduit type of new wire type.

Return Value

WireType
New added wire type object.

Remarks

Parameter of temperatureRating should be retrieved from parameter of materialType, and parameters such as insulation and maxSize should be retrieved from temperatureRating. otherwise, this add operation is most likely to fail.
