Feeder Location ID
Now the Panel Design Canvas is ready to accept your inputs to draw a panel. Just follow the YouTube or video tutorials to add empty chambers /feeders in the panel. You can add maximum 10 chambers or feeders in one column. And you can add maximum 5 column in a panel. By default the very first column added in the design is called Feeder Location - "11" and feeders chambers added above "11" are called Feeder Location "12" and Feeder Location "13". Here, the first digit represents the column number and second digit represents the location of the feeder or chamber in the column. "11" means very first bottom feeder or chamber, "12" means second chamber or feeder above "11", "13" means third chamber/feeder above "12" and so on for other feeders or chambers in first column. Same applies to other columns also. Feeder Location "24" means second column and fourth chamber or feeder. Use the LT Electrical Panel Design Software Tool for any type of electrical panel design and manufacturing. Very powerful panel design tool for elctrical

Type of Components
Once you have added the chambers in the columns you can insert the components now. There are two main catagories of electrical components viz - Switchgears and Accessories. Types like ACB, MCCB, MCB, COS, Contactor, SFU, Isolator, Drives all come under Switchgears. All Indicators, Voltmeter, Ammeters, Frequency Meters, Power Factor Meters, KW Meters, Energy Meter, Digital Meter, Ammeter Selector Switches, Voltmeter Selectror Switches, Terminal Plocks, Connectors, Push Buttons, Push Button Elements, Fuses, Neutral Links, Door Locks, Door Knobs, Door Hinges, Door Handles, Gaskets, All Timers, Any Type of Relays, Power Supplies, All Electronic Devices, Data Loggers, GPRS RTUs or anything that is being used (except switchgears items mentioned above) come in the Accessory Catagory. The LT Control Panel Board Design Software Tool has separate catagories for MS Sheets, Bus Bars, Control Cables, Power Cables. You can use the software tool to design any type of Power Control Center - PCC, Motor Control Center - MCC, Distribution Panel Board for lighting applications, Feeder Pillar Panels for outdoor installations, PLC based Control Panels for Industrial automation and process control.

Insert Components
Now you can insert components in the empty chambers and in your electrical panel design canvas. To insert a component say, a switchgear or an accessory, first click insidethe chamber in which you want to insert a component. It gets selected, then right click inside the chamber and you see a menu list to choose an item. Select "Insert Switchgear". You see a Component Library bar at the bottor of the software window appears. You can easily read on right side "Component Library". On right side of this you see an upward arrow. Click upon that arrow and the Component Library expands up side. You have three drop down menus, select "Insert Switchgear" or "Insert Accessory", Type of Components and third one Library Names available in the software package. By default you get 20 top brand libraries with the LT Electrical Control Panel Board Design Software Tool. You can select the desired library from the third dropdown menu. You see row wise components details those are available in that library. Choose your desired component and click any where on the that row which have your desired component. Better you practice to click upon the "Model" number (or Catalog n uumber) of the component. One click upon the Model number means the component has been added in the chamber. Similarly, you can add more components and Accesssory items in the chamber. So the PLC Control Panel Design Software comes with a ready made library to use.

About Component Library
You can use Library Management Tool to add new libraries, new components in the existing libraries, modify data/properties of existing comonents already added in a library, delete a component from a library. So you are given full control over the component libraries to maintain it as per your requirements. In the existing LT Electrical Control Panel Design Software Tool there are top 20 libraries of branded component manufcaturers like ABB, AE, C&S, HCL, HPL, L&T, Siemens, Schneider, BCH, Kalinga, Tata, MMTC, SAIL, KayCee and so. You can extend these libraries to any extent and use in your electrical panel designs as much as you can. We have already added MS Sheet of various thickness and SWG under a library. Similarly, you will find MS Angles and MS C-Sections of various sizes and configurations in the library. Bus Bar sections of various cross sections are also added for your benefit and convenience.

Feeder Properties
You can set the default value of all the clearances inside the feeder or chamber. So when you add empty feeders it gets drawn taking into calculations the width + Left Clearance & Right Clearance, Height + Top Clearances + Bottom Clearance, Depth + Front Clearance + Back Clearance. The Feeder Width, Height & Depth can also be set as default but can be changed any time though these get modified when we insert a switchgear in the panel design sheet. The LT Electrical Panel Board Design Software has feature to change any dimension any time. Apart from this there is a "Feeder Property" window which helps you to remove a Swithchgear from a feeder to enable you to make it empty or add another switchgear. It also helps you to remove accessories, if required. You can also designate a switchgear as Coupler, Incomer or Outgoing which is required to calculate the Main Bus Bar size.

Auto-Height Set
While designing an Electrical Control Panel we add feeders in columns and then insert switchgears. The switchgears may be of same type or different makes and types. So these may vary in dimensions. When we insert a switchgear in a feeder or empty chamber the chamber re sizes itself with the dimensions of switchgear & clearances. This affects the height of each column. If the switchgears are of same type and same dimensions then height of each column would be same. But if the inserted switchgears are of different types, makes and with different dimensions then the height of each column would be different. The Electrical Control Panel Design Software is well set to equalize the height of each column same. We can use the "Auto Height Set" option to set the height of each column eqaul and similar to the column with maximum height.
