Creating Your Own Derating Standard
ToolKit provides a method for you to create and apply your own derating standard.
1. Use File – Derating Files menu option to open the user defined derating window. On this window you are able to
create derating files that contain the models you wish to create/apply to the components in your systems. These files
are stored as .ITD files, and should travel with your ToolKit project files. A project file without a derating file will
still open properly, but the derating will not be applied to the project.
Check this box to have the
derating file applied to the
current project.
2. On the Derating window, choose File – New, then Edit – Add to create a new derating file, and add a model to it.
Select the Model tab to define the component you wish to apply a derating model to.
