The Electrical Panel Manager is designed to eliminate the manual tedium of managing electrical distribution boards in Autodesk Revit. By centralizing panel properties into a single, intelligent interface, this add-in allows Electrical Engineers and BIM Coordinators to audit, size, and standardize their electrical models in a fraction of the time.

Stop clicking through endless property palettes. View calculated loads, update ratings, and rename panels in bulk with engineering precision.

Key Features

• Intelligent Load Analysis & Sizing:

  Automatically analyzes the total connected load (VA) and phase configuration (1-phase or 3-phase) to calculate the required current. It suggests and applies the nearest standard Breaker Rating (MCB, MCCB, or ACB).

• Batch Auto-Assign:

  Update a single panel or the entire project at once. The "Auto-Assign" feature recalculates mains and breaker ratings for all selected panels based on their actual load, ensuring your schedule is always up to date with the model geometry.

• Smart Naming Generator:

  Standardize your project documentation with the automated renaming tool. Generate panel names based on configurable logic: [Prefix] - [Location/Level Reference] - [Sequence]. The tool automatically abbreviates locations (e.g., "Ground Floor" becomes "GF") for cleaner schedules.

• Cable Sizing Assistant:

  Receive instant feedback on cable sizing. As you adjust the Circuit Breaker rating, the add-in provides dynamic cable suggestions, helping you make quick engineering decisions without leaving the Revit environment.

• Instant 3D Visualization:

  Locate panels instantly. The built-in "Show Panel" feature automatically finds the panel in the 3D view and applies a tight Section Box (BX), isolating the equipment for immediate visual inspection.

• Comprehensive Property Editing:

  Quickly modify essential parameters such as Panel Name, Mains Rating, Short Circuit Rating, Enclosure type, Location, and Slot capacity from one dashboard.

Benefits

• Accuracy: Reduces human error by automating load-to-breaker calculations.

• Speed: Batch processing capabilities save hours of manual data entry.

• Standardization: Ensures consistent naming conventions and equipment ratings across the project.

• Visibility: Highlights unconfigured panels and simplifies navigation in complex models.
