The plugin only works when a ViewSheet is activated. Select the point to start drawing the panel schedule.

In the interface window of the plugin, the user must insert the following data:

Normal panel:

• Panel name.
• Square feet of area of the dwelling unit (sq. ft) --- This value must be greater than 0.
• Number of recept circuits (Recep. Circuits) --- This data can be 0 or empty.
• Number of small appliance circuits with a 1.5 kVA load each one (Small appliances) --- This value must be greater than 0.
• Number of laundry circuits with a 1.5 kVA load each one (Laundry circuits) --- This value must be greater than 0.
• Number of bath circuits (Bath. Circuits) --- This value must be greater than 0.
• Schedule with specific loads (The user may not insert any value in the table).

The plus and minus buttons are for increasing or decreasing rows in the schedule.

In this schedule, there are four data that the user must insert: Load served, kVA load, number of poles (1 or 2 poles) and the type classification of the circuit (General, Heat/Cold, Kitchen, Other or Non-Concurrent).

Distribution panel: (Only used the optional method):

• Panel name.
• Schedule for loading data of txt file saved for normal panels. (The user must insert data in this table, and only txt files saved by this plugin in the normal mode pane). In this schedule, the user will have all the data in the txt file normal panel, such as panel name, demand load, and other data of length and voltage drop percentage.

All this data creates the following information:

• sq. ft: Create a lighting circuit with 15A 1 pole and 14 AWG wire size for each 500 ft² of area. 3 VA/ft² load is a load that includes the lighting, receptacles circuits, and bath circuits, mentioned before. This is a general classification load.
• Small appliances: Create the number of circuits inserted with 1.5 kVA load, 1 pole, 20A, with 12 AWG wire size. This is a general classification load.
• Laundry circuit: Create the number of circuits inserted with 1.5 kVA load, 1 pole, 20A, with 12 AWG wire size. This is a general classification load.
• Schedule: Each row is an independent circuit, that will be calculated for 125% of load to select the breaker rating. The classification load is for the general estimated demand of the panelboard. 

 The plugin uses the standard method or the optional method once the user draws the panel schedule:

-        Standard method example:

CONNECTED LOAD = 36.1 kVA ------- (Phase A Load + Phase B Load) ---- S1

LTG & RECEP. (3VA/SQ.FT) 2640 FT2 = 7.92 kVA ---- S2

TOTAL CONNECTED LOAD = 44.02 kVA -------- (S3 = S1+S2)

GEN. LTG. + SM. APP + LAUNDRY REC. = 15.42 kVA ---- (S4 = S2 + SM. APP + LAUNDRY REC)  

FIRST 3 KVA @ 100% = 3 kVA ------- (Of S4) ---- S5

REMAINDER @ 35% = 4.347 kVA -------- (Of S4) ---- S6

OTHER LOADS BY 220.53 @ 75% = 9.3 kVA -------- (Load kitchen classification) ---- S7

ALL OTHER LOADS @ 100%    = 5 kVA --------- (Other loads classification) ---- S8

A/C LOAD (COLD/HEAT) @ 100%   = 11.2 kVA ------ (Cold/Heat classification) ---- S9

NON-CONCURRENT (NC) = 8 kVA ------ (Non-Concurrent load classification)

TOTAL DEMAND LOAD = 32.847 kVA ---- S10 = S5+S6+S7+S8

DEMAND AMPERES = 136.86 A --- S10/(240 Vots)

-        Optional method example:

CONNECTED LOAD = 36.1 kVA ---- (Phase A Load + Phase B Load) ---- S1

LTG. & RECEP. (3VA/SQ.FT) 2640 FT2  = 7.92 kVA ---- S2

TOTAL CONNECTED LOAD = 44.02 kVA --- (S3=S1+S2)

TOTAL CONNECTED LOAD LESS A/C = 32.82 kVA --- S4

FIRST 10kVA @ 100% = 10 kVA ---- (Of S4) --- S5

REMAINING @ 40% = 9.128 kVA ---- (Of S4) --- S6

A/C LOAD = 11.2 kVA ---- S7

NON-CONCURRENT (NC) = 8 kVA

TOTAL DEMAND LOAD = 30.328 kVA ---- (S8=S5+S6+S7)

DEMAND AMPERES = 126.37 A ---- S8/(240 Volts)

Single line diagrams:  SLD

• Normal panels: It is a simple representation with a meter, main, and M.L.O panelboard, in this case, it is shown the panel schedule with or without the SLD.
• Distribution panels: (Always must be 2 panels minimum as loads).

1. Several Mains (Maximum 6 panels): This design has a meter, a gutter, several mains (Minimum 2, maximum 6), and several M.L.O panelboards, this design shows the demand analysis, but it does not show the panel schedule.
2. Panel M.C.B with generator: This design has one meter, one main, one automatic transfer (ATS), one distribution panel M.C.B, several M.L.O panelboards, and one emergency generator. It is showed always the panel schedule with or without the SLD.
3. Panel M.C.B without generator: This design has one meter, one distribution panel M.C.B, and several M.L.O panelboards. It is showed always the panel schedule with or without the SLD.
