What you'll learn

All you need to know to be able to work in ePLAN acc. to the NFPA standard
Create an ePLAN project using a correct NFPA project template (not intuitive)
Add pages and compare the differences between an IEC and an NFPA style ePLAN project
Manage plot frame inside your ePLAN project
Manage grid settings - inch vs mm setting (very important)
Change grid settings and displayed units of measure when working both on NFPA and IEC style ePLAN projects
Which symbol libraries are used when working acc. to the NFPA standard in ePLAN
About page types and where they are used - general info
Essentials about a background of a plot frame in ePLAN (add project properties
learn about rows
add company's logo)
To draw basic circuit diagram (DOL motor starter power circuit) acc. to NFPA standard (horizontal fashion)
Recapitulation on grid sizes - every grid size has its purpose in an NFPA style ePLAN project
Definition of forms in ePLAN

* Requirements

* Basic understanding of electrical circuits and symbols is helpful but not mandatory
