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

Calculations window: Data that are assigned to the electrical circuits and electrical equipment:

-        Wiring: Select the type of wire according to copper or aluminum and isolation.

-        Temperature: Select the temperature range to assign the temperature factor to the circuits.

-        Voltage drop: Value 0.5% to 5%, to voltage drop calculations.

-        Type of voltage drop analysis:

Individual circuit: The nominal voltage of the circuit is used as the voltage start.

Circuits+Feeders: The voltage used as voltage start will the value taking in account the voltage drops of the upper wiring.

-        Minimum breaker for circuits with lighting fixtures: It can be 15 A or 20 A.

-        Minimum breaker of circuits without lighting fixtures: It can be 15 A, 20 A or 25 A.

-        Length Circuits:

Length Revit default: The addin will used by default the length of the electrical circuit that Revit calculate or the user change.

First run per circuit: The addin will assign the value of the length calculated by Revit, then this value can be changed manually by the user.

-        Checkboxes:

Update: Update all the data according to the entry data of the window, if this is off, the circuits will remain data as type of conductor, voltage drop, minimum breaker and derating factors

Neutral for 2 phases loads: Add neutral conductor for electrical circuits of 2 phases.

Neutral for 3 phases loads: Add neutral conductor for electrical circuits of 3 phases.

-        Fault wiring calculation: For short circuit calculation.

Single-PVC, Single-Steel, Cable-PVC, Cable-Steel.

The Calculate button assigns to the aforementioned shared parameters the corresponding values according the electrical calculations.

If the user creates a new electrical circuit the shared parameters will be empty, so the plugin must be run.

Panel window – To set the method of calculation of each panelboard and to set the load classification of the circuits.

Load Classifications:

- (A) APPLIANCE LOAD

- (O) OTHER LOAD

- (C) A/C (COLD OR HEAT)

 - (N) NON CONCURRENT LOAD

- (P) PANEL OR SUBPANEL

- (R) RECEPTACLE LOAD

- (L) LIGHTING LOAD

- (K) KITCHEN LOAD

- (M) MOTOR LOAD

* If the user not set the load classification the circuit will be classified as R.

* Electrical circuits of a panelboard will be always classified as P.

* If the checkbox of Calculations Windows (Set lighting (L) type) is ON, all the circuits with Lighting Fixtures will be set to L.

* If the user is using the app in a Dwelling unit project, it is recommended to set the R circuits, for area verification.

Methods:

-        Non dwelling units: This method is for projects as commercial, industries, it has the following metholody:

CONNECTED LOAD = 77 kVA

------------------------------------------------------

RECEP. LOAD = 26.12 kVA

FIRST 10 KVA @ 100% = 10 kVA

REMAINDER @ 50% = 8.06 kVA

KITCHEN LOADS @ 65% = 4.41 kVA

LIGHTING LOAD @ 125% = 9.88 kVA

OTHER LOADS @ 100% = 12.06 kVA

LARGEST MOTOR LOAD @ 50% = 3.39 kVA

TOTAL MOTOR LOAD @ 100% = 12.06 kVA

TOTAL KVA A/C LOADS @ 100% = 5.28 kVA

TOTAL NON CONCURENT LOADS = 6.78 kVA

------------------------------------------------------

TOTAL DEMAND LOAD = 65.15 kVA

DEMAND AMPERES = 180.83 A

-        Dwelling unit Standard method:

TOTAL CONNECTED LOAD = 77 kVA

------------------------------------------------------

TOTAL CONNECTED LOAD LESS A/C = 71.71 kVA

GEN. LTG. + SM. APP + LAUNDRY REC: = 40.81 kVA    

FIRST 3 KVA @ 100% = 3 kVA

REMAINDER @ 35% = 13.23 kVA

KITCHEN LOADS @ 75% = 5.08 kVA

OTHER LOADS @ 100% = 17.35 kVA

TOTAL KVA A/C LOADS @ 100% = 5.28 kVA

TOTAL NON CONCURENT LOADS = 6.78 kVA

------------------------------------------------------

TOTAL DEMAND LOAD = 43.95 kVA

DEMAND AMPERES = 213.72 A

-        Dwelling unit Optional method:

TOTAL CONNECTED LOAD = 77 kVA

------------------------------------------------------

TOTAL CONNECTED LOAD LESS A/C = 71.71 kVA

FIRST 10 KVA @ 100% = 10 kVA

REMAINDER @ 40% = 17.15 kVA

TOTAL KVA A/C LOADS @ 100% = 5.28 kVA

TOTAL NON CONCURENT LOADS = 6.78 kVA

------------------------------------------------------

TOTAL DEMAND LOAD = 32.43 kVA

DEMAND AMPERES = 213.72 A

-        Switchboard: It is the total sum of all demand power.
