Load Summation and Cable Sizing Discrimination Checks
ProDesign automatically sums the loads throughout a project, applying The discrimination checks ensure that, wherever a fault might occur in the
user controlled diversity settings where defined. ProDesign calculates the network, the protective device nearest the fault will operate to disconnect
