Inserting Multiple Protective Coverings

You can place multiple protective coverings with the same properties to protect segments positioned at the same junction.

Note: Multiple protective coverings can only be placed in Length mode.

  1. From the Instantiate Protective Covering dialog box, select a Selection mode:
    • From Library: to insert an existing protective covering retrieved from an electrical library.
    • From database: to insert an existing protective covering retrieved from the database or from your session using the Content Chooser.
    • From catalog: to insert an existing protective covering retrieved from a catalog.
    • From scratch: to insert a new protective covering.
  2. In the Length box, enter a value or use the arrows to change the value.

    Important: When adding multiple coverings, any change in length impacts all the added coverings.

  3. In the tree or the work area, select a segment end.
    Protective coverings are added to:

    • The selected segment
    • The segments with the same properties as the selected segment and connected at the same junction.

    Important: Protective coverings are only added to segments belonging to the same electrical branch geometry as the selected segment.
  4. Click OK to validate.
    The multiple protective coverings are added and appear under the Protection Set node in the tree.

    Important: Once added, coverings are managed individually.
