Feeder Callouts vs. Feeder IDs

The relationship between feeder IDs and feeder callouts is a bit different when you are using ElectroBIM than when you are sizing wires manually. We talk about why it's different, how it's better, and what you should do when your feeder ID is wrong.

We look at the following topics for feeder IDs and feeder callouts:

  • What feeder IDs are and how they are used
  • How pre-ElectroBIM workflows focus on the feeder ID itself
    • Examples of feeder IDs used by companies
  • Comparing the ID-centric workflow to the feeder-centric workflow in ElectroBIM
  • Modifying the feeder ID by changing the feeder definition
  • How the feeder-derived approach leads to smaller feeder schedules
  • Viewing the entire feeder schedule using the Project Feeder ID Schedule and Master Feeder ID Schedule commands
