Circuit Builder 3 phase single feed question

Hi, I'm trying to get better acclimated to using circuit builder and I have a question. When creating vertical 3 phase feeds, no matter how i configure them they come out in this format.

 

(as well a Terminal Block is always missing on the L1 phase which I don't know why)

 

In any case I thought this may be a way to streamline drawings to be faster and more effective.

 

Question? The black box on the bottom? This is considered the utility side transformer is it not? Going to the fuses and then the disconnect switch providing power to whatever system is to be developed. Like an IEC style drawing?

 

Can the circuit builder go in the other direction with the xfmr on the top down to the fuses and then the disconnect?

 

Our usual schematics show power coming in from the top, I though circuit builder might be useful in representing this.

Yes it is possible to have the transformer on the top...

 

You just need to play around with the base dwgs to set it up.

 

I have set up some single line units for HV incomers, feeders and bus sections. the feeders and bus sections are below the bus line while the incomers are above it. The only difference between the two locations is the way I drew the base dwg.

 

Look in the help for a more in depth explanation and don't be afraid to experiment. Just make sure to make a backup of anything that ACADE installed before playing with it.
