The Circuit Protective Device Databases (CPD DBs) have been revised and updated for the latest calculation standards.
The first versions of the 18th Edition CPD DBs issued in 2018, all ended with '18th'. The updated CPD DBs for ‘Amendment 2’ now end with '18_2'.
When creating a new Wiring project, the default CPD DB will now be, ‘Schneider Electric UK 2021_18_2’. Instead of the previous, ‘Schneider Electric UK 2021_18th'.
The latest version of each of the manufacturers and the generic or example CPD DBs, have also been updated to ‘18_2’, as in the examples shown below.
Because of updates to CPD DBs, when using the ‘18th Edition to Amendment 2’ version of Wiring to open a CYW project from a previous version of Wiring, there will be a pop-up message advising you to update the project’s CPD DB to the latest version.
