As you pull the 3-phase wire out, you can turn a corner by moving your
cursor out of line with the bus. To reverse the phase sequence of the turn,
press F.
6 Right-click to terminate the wires. The wires and wire connection dots
insert, and loops are automatically inserted at wire crossing points.
NOTE If the distance between two horizontal wires is relatively small, the
vertical wire crossing them avoids inserting loop gaps. The wire trap distance
setting is used to see whether wire loop gaps are possible or not. Reduce the
scale factor or increase the distance between two wires to insert gap loops.
To tie the new 3-phase wire to an existing bus, but with reversed sequence,
start the new 3-phase wire connected at the last wire on the existing bus.
Move the cursor backward across the other wires until the connections
are made, and then move the cursor forward again. This results in a
reversed sequence connection.
TIP If you have trouble connecting a new 3-phase wire to an existing bus, start
the command and select the starting point on the existing bus. Move the cursor
slowly across the other wires of the bus. AutoCAD Electrical has a better chance
of finding them and correctly connecting the new wiring.

Multiple bus wiring breaks automatically and reconnects to any underlying
components in its path. If it crosses existing wiring, wire-crossing gaps insert
automatically based on the drawing properties. You define the number of
wires.
