In cases where the CircuitConnection element is used within an EquipmentInstance that does not have a parent element to which the CircuitConnection is assumed to connect, a reference ID can be used to associate this CircuitConnection to another EquipmentInstance elsewhere in a document instance.  For example, a PvSystem may have an AcPointOfConnection that uses a new ElectricalPanel as an AC combiner for more than one Inverter.  The new electrical panel can be described by an  ElectricalPanel element in the PvDesign (which in turn refers to an ElectricalPanelDefinition element).

in the AcPointOfConnection's EquipmentWhereConnected element.  That ElectricPanel's EnergizingCircuitConnection element may reference another ElectricPanel in an instance of the Project's ExistingElectricalHierarchy element.

This is the segment of the CircuitConductor that is connected directly to the electrical component that this CircuitConnection belongs to.  For example, let's assume that this ConductorSegment is part of a CircuitConnection for a PvString. The PvString typically starts out as USE-2 wire from the PV Modules and may transition to THWN-2 wire once inside a J-box (modeled as a Wireway box in this schema).  The USE-2 segment of the conductor is the Primary segment, while the THWN-2 wire is a secondary segment.  All CircuitConnectionConductors have a primary segment, only some have any secondary instances. If there are more than one, then the splices made beween them are described by the ConnectsToConductorSegmentId and the WirewaySegmentWhereConnectedId attributes.

Element CircuitConnectionType / SideOfPanelOcpdWhereConnected
Namespace No namespace
Annotations
 
When a circuit connection is made on an ElectricalPanel, which side of a the panel's main breaker (if present) is the interconnection made (supply or load side)?
This is a very important consideration, as the NEC dictates the maximum allowable interconnected current, and it is very different for each side of the OCPD.  For example, when tied to the load side of a panel's bus, the total of all circuits amperage can sum to 120% of the bus's current rating when using a backfed breaker.  If tied to the supply side, the allowable PV circuit amperage can go up to the maximum rated amperage of the bus (as the main breaker protects the load side).  Note that this also differs between residential and commercial systems. Most residential systems are interconnected on the load side. Conversely, most commercial systems are interconnected on the supply side because NEC 690 currently has no 120% rule on commercial load side tie-in (significantly limiting possible size), and also commercial system equipment is more likely to have connections available on the supply side (e.g. lugs).

The terms pole and throw are also used to describe switch contact variations. The number of "poles" is the number of separate circuits which are controlled by a switch. For example, a "2-pole" switch has two separate identical sets of contacts controlled by the same knob. The number of "throws" is the number of separate positions that the switch can adopt. A single-throw switch has one pair of contacts that can either be closed or open. A double-throw switch has a contact that can be connected to either of two other contacts, a triple-throw has a contact which can be connected to one of three other contacts, etc

For example, a PvSystem may have an AcPointOfConnection that uses a new ElectricalPanel as an AC combiner for more than one Inverter.  The new electrical panel can be described by an  ElectricalPanel element in the PvDesign (which in turn refers to an ElectricalPanelDefinition element).

Namespace http://www.iepmodel.net
Annotations
 
A CircuitConnection defines a portion of an electrical circuit connecting two distinct components of an electrical system (for example, the connection of a PV String to a CombinerBox).  A CircuitConnection is made by conductors. One end of the CircuitConnection is the element in which the CircuitConnection exists, and the other end is typically the parent element of the element in which the CircuitConnection element resides. For example, a CombinerBox element can have multiple PvString elements within it.  Each PvString element contains a CircuitConnection element which defines its connection to the CombinerBox.  A CombinerBox has a CircuitConnection element which defines its connection to an InverterDcInput, for example.

Optionally, the CircuitConnectionType contains an optional EquipmentWhereConnectedIdRef attribute which can be used to reference another electrical equipment element in another part of a document.  For example, a PvDesign's Inverter has no parent element.  Instead, it's AcTie-InCircuitConnection uses the EquipmentWhereConnectedIdRef attribute to reference either an ElectricalPanel within the PvDesign, or an ElectricalPanel within a Project's ExistingElectricalDistributionHierarchy element may exist.

In cases where the CircuitConnection element is used within an EquipmentInstance that does not have a parent element to which the CircuitConnection is assumed to connect, a reference ID can be used to associate this CircuitConnection to another EquipmentInstance elsewhere in a document instance.  For example, a PvSystem may have an AcPointOfConnection that uses a new ElectricalPanel as an AC combiner for more than one Inverter.  The new electrical panel can be described by an  ElectricalPanel element in the PvDesign (which in turn refers to an ElectricalPanelDefinition element).

in the AcPointOfConnection's EquipmentWhereConnected element.  That ElectricPanel's EnergizingCircuitConnection element may reference another ElectricPanel in an instance of the Project's ExistingElectricalHierarchy element.

  <xs:annotation>
    <xs:documentation>A CircuitConnection defines a portion of an electrical circuit connecting two distinct components of an electrical system (for example, the connection of a PV String to a CombinerBox). A CircuitConnection is made by conductors. One end of the CircuitConnection is the element in which the CircuitConnection exists, and the other end is typically the parent element of the element in which the CircuitConnection element resides. For example, a CombinerBox element can have multiple PvString elements within it. Each PvString element contains a CircuitConnection element which defines its connection to the CombinerBox. A CombinerBox has a CircuitConnection element which defines its connection to an InverterDcInput, for example. Optionally, the CircuitConnectionType contains an optional EquipmentWhereConnectedIdRef attribute which can be used to reference another electrical equipment element in another part of a document. For example, a PvDesign's Inverter has no parent element. Instead, it's AcTie-InCircuitConnection uses the EquipmentWhereConnectedIdRef attribute to reference either an ElectricalPanel within the PvDesign, or an ElectricalPanel within a Project's ExistingElectricalDistributionHierarchy element may exist.</xs:documentation>

        <xs:documentation>When a circuit connection is made on an ElectricalPanel, which side of a the panel's main breaker (if present) is the interconnection made (supply or load side)? This is a very important consideration, as the NEC dictates the maximum allowable interconnected current, and it is very different for each side of the OCPD. For example, when tied to the load side of a panel's bus, the total of all circuits amperage can sum to 120% of the bus's current rating when using a backfed breaker. If tied to the supply side, the allowable PV circuit amperage can go up to the maximum rated amperage of the bus (as the main breaker protects the load side). Note that this also differs between residential and commercial systems. Most residential systems are interconnected on the load side. Conversely, most commercial systems are interconnected on the supply side because NEC 690 currently has no 120% rule on commercial load side tie-in (significantly limiting possible size), and also commercial system equipment is more likely to have connections available on the supply side (e.g. lugs).</xs:documentation>

A WirewayBox is modeled like a piece of conduit in that they do not have their own CircuitConnections.  Wireway boxes cannot change the current or voltage characteristics of any CircuitConnections passing through it.  They may not combine or distribute current like a DcCombiner or ElectricalPanel.  They may not change voltage characteristics such as a StringInverter. A WirewayBox may contain 1:1 wire splices or a disconnect switch (a switch does not change the current or voltage).

If the WirewaySegment is a junction box or disconnect switch, this refers to its EquipmentDefinition. A WirewayBox may be a pass through where multiple ConduitSegments are combined into a single ConduitSegment for example.  A disconnect switch box may also be modeled as a WirewayBox, provided that the circuit(s) involved are simply disoconnected and not combined in any way. DO NOT use WirewayBox to represent a combiner, or distribution panel.

Annotations
 
If the WirewaySegment is a junction box or disconnect switch, this refers to its EquipmentDefinition. A WirewayBox may be a pass through where multiple ConduitSegments are combined into a single ConduitSegment for example.  A disconnect switch box may also be modeled as a WirewayBox, provided that the circuit(s) involved are simply disoconnected and not combined in any way. DO NOT use WirewayBox to represent a combiner, or distribution panel.

Namespace No namespace
Annotations
 
The ID referring to the equipment in which the OCPD is installed.  In most cases, it is the parent Equipment of the CircuitConnection's immediate parent element.  For example, if the CircuitConnection is within a StringInverter element, then the circuit breaker within the ElectricalPanel to which the Inverter connects will most like be the referenced OCPD.

Namespace No namespace
Annotations
 
In cases where the CircuitConnection element is used within an EquipmentInstance that does not have a parent element to which the CircuitConnection is assumed to connect, a reference ID can be used to associate this CircuitConnection to another EquipmentInstance elsewhere in a document instance.  For example, a PvSystem may have an AcPointOfConnection that uses a new ElectricalPanel as an AC combiner for more than one Inverter.  The new electrical panel can be described by an  ElectricalPanel element in the PvDesign (which in turn refers to an ElectricalPanelDefinition element).

in the AcPointOfConnection's EquipmentWhereConnected element.  That ElectricPanel's EnergizingCircuitConnection element may reference another ElectricPanel in an instance of the Project's ExistingElectricalHierarchy element.
