3 Phase Wiring

When working with 3 phase wiring, don't you insert the components and then "link" them using parent and child relationships? and when you do that are all 3 components supposed to have same tag as the parent? Maybe I am missing something....but I have attached a drawing and it looks like 1CB worked just fine while the others continue to be listed individually.

Any help would be appreciated......Thanks Marty

Looking at the drawing, it appears as though each of the CB devices have
been inserted manually and then you used the DASHED LINK LINE command to
have the link line added. This is fine, but you need to use children, "2+",
CBs as the second and third of each set to get the outcome I think you are
looking for. On another note, take a look down further into the menu
system, select FUSES/CIRCUIT BREAKERS, then select CIRCUIT
BREAKERS/DISCONNECTS. When you get down to this level, you should see the 3
pole circuit breakers. If you use the 3 pole devices, they will insert all
3 (and the correct parent/child combination) devices on the wires, create
the relationship and add the dashed link line automatically.

I hope this helps!!
