A generic arrangement object linking switching equipment to its manufacturer drawings.

## What it represents

A switchgear-panel object represents the equipment envelope and interfaces used when arranging a switchroom or substation. The manufacturer and panel configuration establish the physical dimensions, cable entries, access sides and other installation information.
The original envelope illustration is unscaled and has no manufacturer dimensions. Follow the cited public resources to the exact product, then use its current drawing and installation information for engineering work.

## How to read it

- Read plan and elevation views together.
- Identify the actual panel configuration before placing its footprint.

## Information to show or reference

- Reference the current product GA.
- Identify cable interfaces and access sides.
- Link the SLD equipment identifier.

## Important distinction

The panel envelope is a physical object; the breaker or switch symbol inside an SLD is an electrical representation.

## Facts
