BOM question

Hi to everyone.

 

Here is my question.

 

I have to insert a Contactor : ABB / A 9-30-10 / 1sbl 14 1001 R 24 10 but I can't find it in the ABB catalog.

What I'm doing wrong?

It is a one line diagram. I've inserted the component (one pole circuit breaker - the first block in the "insert component/circuit breakers 1 pole" menu - vcb1.dwg).

When it prompted to set tags and other info I select lookup in catalog data, it shows me the catalog list, filtering to ABB it does not appear. Then I'm lost.

In other components such magneto/thermal circuit breakers and diferentials I have no problem in find them in the catalog list.

 

hope you can guide me

sorry for my english

It may be a part number that isn't in the catalog,  While it is the largest catalog of its kind, there may still be parts not listed.  The parts data comes from the manufacturers and may not always be complete.  I have found that the CAD files sent from the manufacturers vary in quality and accuracy as well.  This is not the fault of Autodesk.  Autodesk just includes what they are sent.  It's easy to add a new part number though.  Just click the icon for adding a new entry into the database, and then fill in the information from a cutsheet.
