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

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.

Is this panel existing or new (proposed)?  When the ElectricalPanel is used within the existingElectricalSystem element inside of a Project's Site element, this is assumed to be an existing panel.  However, if the panel is just being defined within a PvDesign's AcTie-InPanel element, then its important to know if the panel being described already exists or is new (and therefore part of the scope of work).

When a circuit connection's targetComponent is an ElectricalPanel, this describes which side of a the panel's main breaker (if present) that the interconnection is 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).

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.

A WirewayBox is an abstract way to describe instances of junction boxes and disconnect switches. What differentiates them from conduit segments is the ability for circuitConnections to start or end in them, as well as for multiple circuitConnections to exit from them.  An electrical box through which CircuitConnections travel as a transition from one ConduitSegment to another. Wireway boxes cannot change the current or voltage characteristics of any CircuitConnections starting, ending, or 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 (based on its instance type). Note that a WirewayBox may or may not refer to a defined piece of Equipment (e.g. a JunctionBoxDefintion, DisconnectSwitchDefinition, StandAloneMeterSocketDefintion).

A disconnectBox can provide a break between circuitConnections via its disconnect switch. Disconnect boxes cannot change the current or voltage characteristics of any circuits. circuitConnections may start/end at a disconnect box, where circuit conductors are switched. circuitConnections may also pass through a disconnect box like it is a conduit segment. A disconnectBox may not combine or distribute current like a DcCombiner or ElectricalPanel.  They may not change voltage characteristics such as a StringInverter. Note that a disconnectBox may or may not refer to a defined piece of Equipment (e.g. a JunctionBoxDefintion, DisconnectSwitchDefinition, StandAloneMeterSocketDefintion). It may instead contain a free text name.

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 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.

        <xs:documentation>When a circuit connection's targetComponent is an ElectricalPanel, this describes which side of a the panel's main breaker (if present) that the interconnection is 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 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.
