The plugin associates 16 shared parameters to the category of electrical circuits:

• bw_powercalc:

Shared parameter type VoltAmpere apparent load. This parameter has the apparent load of calculation of each circuit, in the case of electrical circuits formed by an element Electrical Equipment type, that is a panelboard or switchboard that has other circuits connected to the load with the total estimated demand, so the user can make a correct calculus of the circuit according to the demand.

• bw_currentcalc:

Shared parameter type Ampere apparent current. This parameter has the apparent current of the calculation of each circuit. In the case of electrical circuits formed by an element, Electrical Equipment type, that is a panelboard or switchboard that has other circuits connected to the load with the total estimated current, so the user can make a correct calculus of the circuit according to the demand.

• bw_vddata:

Shared parameter type number data percentage of voltage permissible drop: 0.5 % to 5 %.

• bw_factorbreaker:

Shared parameter type number value equal or greater than 1 (Recommended 1.25). This value is multiplied by the bw_currentcalc value for selecting the next size up standard breaker, in the first run for each circuit the addin will assign 1.25.

• bw_breaker:

Shared parameter type Ampere current; the value of the breaker rating according to the current load and standard sizes of the NFPA 70: 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 600, 700, 800, 1000, 1200, 1600, 2000, 2500,3000,4000,5000,6000.

• bw_breakermin:

Shared parameter type Ampere current. It is the minimum value of the breaker rating of the circuit, it can be 15, 20 or 25.

• bw_factortemp:

Shared parameter type number. It is the value of the correction factor of temperature, it works individually in each circuit.

• bw_factoragrup:

Shared parameter type number. It is the value of the correction factor of number of circuits, it works individually in each circuit, this factor must be changed manually by the user in the schedule, this value must be greater or equal to 0.35 and lower or equal to 1.

• bw_cabletype:

Shared parameter type text. This parameter is referred to the type of electrical conductor of each circuit, Taking into account the NFPA 70 standard, the value can be:

-        C60 - Cu-60°C – Copper for 60°C.

-        C75- Cu-75°C – Copper for 75°C.

-        C90 - Cu-90°C – Copper for 90°C.

-        A60 - Al-60°C – Aluminum for 60°C.

-        A75 - Al-75°C – Aluminumfor75°C.

-        A90 - Al-90°C – Aluminum for 90°C.

• bw_wiresize:

Shared parameter type text. Wire size is calculated by the plugin.

• bw_neutral:

Shared parameter type Yes/No. This allows the user to add the neutral conductor for circuits of 2 and 3 poles, for circuits of 1 pole it will always be Yes.

• bw_vdcalculated:

Shared parameter type number. Calculate the voltage drop according to the standard value.

• bw_vdropvolts:

Shared parameter type electrical potential in Volts. calculate the voltage drop in Volts.

• bw_currenttable:

Shared parameter type Current in Amperes. It is the standard value Amperes of the wire size in the NFPA 70 table.

• bw_currentallowable:

Shared parameter type Current in Amperes. It is the allowable current, the previous value of bw_currenttable multiplied for the derating factors of number of circuits bw_factoragrup and temperature bw_factortemp.

• bw_conduit:

Shared parameter type Text. Conduit parameter in inches of the diameter of the conduit of the circuit, according to the Wire Size. It has the following data: ½,¾, 1,1 ¼,1 ½, 2, 2 ½, 3,3 ½, 4,5 or 6 inches.
