Parameters
- name String
- Name of the new wire type.
- materialType WireMaterialType
- Wire material of new wire type.
- temperatureRating TemperatureRatingType
- Temperature rating type information of new wire type.
- insulation InsulationType
- Insulation of new wire type.
- maxSize WireSize
- Max wire size of new wire type.
- neutralMultiplier Double
- Neutral multiplier of new wire type.
- neutralRequired Boolean
- Specify whether neutral point is required.
- neutralMode NeutralMode
- Specify neutral mode.
- conduit WireConduitType
- Conduit type of new wire type.
Return Value
WireTypeNew added wire type object.

Parameter of temperatureRating should be retrieved from parameter of materialType,
and parameters such as insulation and maxSize should be retrieved from temperatureRating.
otherwise, this add operation is most likely to fail.
