Feeder IDs

Learn all about feeder IDs on your single-line diagram. See how we generate them, where we store them, and how you can reuse them across projects and users.

We look at the following topics for feeder IDs:

• An overview of what feeder IDs are and how they are generated by ElectroBIM
• Viewing the feeder IDs in your project using the Project Feeder ID Schedule command
• Modifying the feeder ID on the single-line by modifying the feeder itself using the Panel Edit command
• When feeder IDs do (and don't) update automatically
  • Updating the feeder schedule using the Schedule Insert command
• Customizing how feeder IDs are created and displayed using the Project Options command
• Creating feeder IDs in the feeder ID schedule
• How ElectroBIM differentiates feeder IDs with similar ampacities and wires
• Modifying the feeder ID graphics
  • Where the default feeder ID graphic is set

We also answer the following questions:

• "Can you rearrange the information in the wire callout?"
• "How do I modify the names of the wire sizes themselves?"
• "How do I remove the neutral from the feeder?"
• "How do I modify an existing feeder ID?"
• "How do I modify the wires used for a feeder at a given ampacity?"
• "Does having the customization folder on a network slow down the software? Can it be put on BIM 360?"
• "How do I control wire sizes for branch circuits?"
