In-Depth Information
Panels can be named using your naming standard by editing the Panel
Name parameter. When using the panel families provided in your library
or customized versions of them, you can control the size of a panel by
establishing the number of poles. The Max #1 Pole Breakers parameter
allows you to establish the number of poles available in the panel. An
examination of the type parameters of one of these families reveals that
the height of the panel is determined by the number of poles. The other
parameters, such as Mains, Enclosure, Modifications, and Short Circuit
Rating, which appear in the Electrical - Circuiting group of instance
parameters are forinformation thatwillappear in thepanel schedule. These
parameters do not factor into the electrical characteristics of the panel or
distribution system. They exist for reporting purposes only and have to be
edited manually.
The Circuit Naming, Circuit Prefix Separator, and Circuit Prefix parameters
allow you to control the naming of circuits that are fed from the panel.
Because these are instance parameters, you can name circuits differently for
each panel if necessary. You do not need to use these parameters to tag your
circuits.
Other Equipment
Component families can be used to represent any type of electrical
equipment required in your Revit project. Items such as generators,
automatic transfer switches, starters, and variable frequency drives are
available in the library. Figure 13.24 shows a diesel generator on the site
plan of a project. The generator family is displayed differently depending on
the Detail Level setting of the view. In Coarse detail, the generator appears
as a simple box, while in Fine detail the shape of the equipment is visible.
