The plugin associates 17 shared parameters to the category of electrical circuits:

·        CS_Ib: Load current in Amperes.

·        CS_loncor: Length in meters of the electrical circuit that is considered for the work of the plugin.

·        CS_Iz: Allowable current of the conductor selected of the circuit in Amperes.

·        CS_mont: Type of installation: A1, A2, B1, B2, C, D, E or F.

·        CS_desVfinalporciento: Data porcentage of voltage drop: 0.5 % to 6 %.

·        CS_factork: Derating k factor for the wire calculation, this value must be insert manually by the user, in the first run will be equal to 1.

·        CS_ktemp: Derating factor of temperature, will be insert by the plugin according the wiring and the selected temperature.

·        CS_tubo: Diameter of the conduit in millimeters.

·        CS_material: Material of the wire: Cu-Coopper or Al-Aluminum.

·        CS_ais: Type of insulation of the wire: PVC or XLP.

·        CS_Pcalculo: Power of calculation in Watts.

CS_Pcalculo = (True load) * CS_fu

True load: Default project parameter of Autodesk ® Revit ®.

·        CS_ajust: Adjust of the overcurrent protection device (OCPD), it is equal to 1 for values of 125 A or less, and it can be 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 or 1 for greater values.

·        CS_CalibreMinimo: Minimun of wire size: 1.5 mm² to 6 mm².

·        CS_fu: Load utilization coefficient of the circuit, it must be inserted be the user, in the first run will 1, for the electrical panels circuits it can be the demand factor of the Electrical Equipment family.

·        CS_dVc: Voltage drop calculated in percentage.

·        CS_factorbreaker: Factor breaker that is considered to calculates the OCPD rating.

·        CS_Seccion: Wire size in mm². The plugin works with the standards ratings of wires of the IEC 60364-5-52 standard (1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 10, 16, 25, 35, 50, 70, 95, 120, 150, 185, 240 mm²).

·        CS_Inbreaker: Overcurrent proteccion device rating. Values in Amperes: 6, 10, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 400, 630, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000, 2500, 3200, 4000, 5000, 6300, 8000.

The plugin has 2 buttons: Calculations and data:

·        Calculations:

This button calculates the OCPD rating, wire size, voltage drop and conduit size, all these based of all data such as type of conductor, installations, temperature; the calculations of the wire size is based in first moment of the load and it is reviewed to voltage drop, currents coordination (Ib<=In<=Iz) and max value of length based to a curve C breaker.

·        Data:

This button shows a window called CALDIMO Calculation Values to save the work values corresponding to the OCPD factor, derating factor of temperature, the minimum value of wire, material and insulation of the wires, installation, value of voltage drop, maximun wire (General), minimun OCPD (General) and these options:

·        Yes/No point to consider the length of the Autodesk ® Revit ® always (Yes) or only in the first run of Calculations (No).

·        Update, to update all circuits data for wiring, OCPD factor and voltage drop (Yes) or maintain these data (No).

·        Neutral circuits 2 poles, add neutral conductor for branch circuits of 2 poles (Yes).

·        Neutral circuits 3 poles, add neutral conductor for branch circuits of 3 poles (Yes).

·        Adjust OCPD greater than 125 A, set a factor of 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 or 1 to those circuits with a OCPD greater than 125 A (Yes).

·        Use demand factor for panel circuits, set in the CS_fu parameter of the circuit the value of the demand factor of the Equipment (Yes).

Edit circuits:

In this window the user can also change the data of the circuits in the following: Wire material, wire insulation and installation.

These values can also be modified in the schedules.

Table:

This button creates an electrical circuits schedule with all the data considered and shared parameters:
