Connecting a sub distribution board


To create a connection between main distribution and sub distribution boards in hagercad.pro you will need to create at least two boards in the project tree and add a board and devices to each one in the materials section.

In this guide we will be linking the Main distribution board to the Sub distribution board shown in the image below.

Selecting the incoming supply

In your project tree, select the board you want to use as the sub distribution. This should open the options to select the type of wiring diagrams. Choose the Single line diagram option and wait for the incoming supply window to appear.

 

Change the ‘Incoming No.1’ supply field to show as a location in the project and then press Next to continue.
