About Creating Electrical Systems

Use AutoCAD MEP 2022 toolset to create designs for typical electrical systems such as lighting plans, power plans, and telecommunications plans. You can also create plans for electrical equipment, such as switchboards or emergency power generators, and draw the conduit or cable tray networks to connect the equipment.

When creating lighting, power, and telecommunications plans, you add devices to the floor plan, and you connect the devices with wire runs. You can use panel and circuit features to assign the devices to circuits. You can also use circuit features to manage loads for power and lighting circuits.

When creating plans for electrical equipment, you add MvParts to floor plans, and you draw conduit or cable tray runs to connect equipment.
