How to Insert Cable Ducts in the Electrical Panel

Written by Arthur Hoerlle | Nov 12, 2021

In this article you can learn how to add ducts for routing an electrical panel in E3.series. The creation is fast and allows for different parameter configurations and duct dimensioning. See the full video article and optimize your processes!

Panel Sheet and Component Insertion

Initially, a panel-like sheet is added to the project. To do this, by right-clicking on the project name, the option "New Sheet..." is selected and the option "Panel" is chosen in the field "Type".

Then the components "3RV1011-0AA10" and "280-601" are added to the schematic sheet, where the addition of connections and wires takes place.

In the panel sheet the devices are added and it is possible to visualize the connection lines made in the electrical schematic.
