Panel properties settings

[PanzerRanger]

Hi!

I´m trying to understand what what valuves to put in and since Autodesk not giving me much I hope for help here.

In panel properties, design tab it asks for Rating and I have no idea what that is, second, as being from Sweden, thereby Europe, we use diffrent electricalsystems so the question is: AIC is the ampsvalue that the electrical company provides?

Cheers!

Hi, maybe I can help.
Rating is the panel board bus ampacity. i.e. 100, 200, 400, and such. e.g. If you have 150 amperes of load then the panel probably should be at least 200A rated.

AIC rating is the "amps interrupting current" capacity, or fault current capacity. In my opinion it is quite important to specify this properly. Typical values I use are 10,000 and 22,000. There are many articles on the internet about calculating fault currents.
These values are basic in nature and will apply everywhere.
