Wire Sizing Customization

How to customize the wire sizes used in your project in Design Master Electrical.

We look at the following topics for customizing wire sizing:

  • Accessing the Wire Sizing customization commands
  • The wire size list in the Wire Sizing dialog box
  • The conduit size list
  • The list of ampacities and wires used for each
    • Sizing the ground wire as equipment or service automatically
  • Creating a new ampacity record for automatic wire sizing using the button
  • Recalculating wire sizing after making changes
  • Setting wire sizing standards using the sizing option list
    • Creating sizing options in the wire sizing master list

We also answer the following questions:

  • "Can you connect multiple panels to a single breaker on a switchboard?"
  • "How do you disconnect a panel to connect it to something else?"
  • "What should I do if loops aren't being drawn the way I want them?"
