- [Narrator] Adding multiple bus wiring to a three-phase circuit is very, very easy to do. Now, in the last video, we looked at adding our three-phase ladder to the drawing, so we're still in Demo 11.dwg and we're still in the WD Demo project. Let's zoom in on that right-hand ladder that we placed in the previous video. Now I'm going to to zoom in near the top here and as you can see, we started at 1150, going down 1151, 1152, and so on. Now, multiple bus wiring comes off of the insert wire's wire numbers panel on the schematic tab on the ribbon. It's this one here. The red, green, and blue icon. Just click on it and it'll open up the multiple wire bus dialog box. Now, all of the spacing that we're using in this particular drawing is three quarters of an inch, not .75. So just make sure that your horizontal spacing is not .75 and your vertical spacing is not .75. Now, we can start at different places for multiple wire buses. So you can see we can come off a three-phase component…
