Design the Electrical Systems

Connect compatible devices and fixtures to create the electrical systems for the model.

• Place devices and equipment in the project.

  Place electrical equipment and devices in the project.

• Place lighting fixtures and switches.

  Place lighting fixtures and switches in the project.

• Draw cable tray.

  Add cable tray with or without fittings.

• Create power and lighting.

  Select compatible devices and create power circuits. Select compatible lighting fixtures and create lighting circuits.

• Assign light fixtures to switches.

  Create switch systems and assign lighting fixtures.

• Create groups and copy them to other areas in the project. (optional)

  You can create groups of components to replicate similar systems in other spaces or on other levels.

• Connect circuits to panels.

  Connect power and lighting circuits to panels.

• Lay out and add wiring.

  You can create wiring for the circuits in the project.

• Reroute wiring.

  Refine the wiring layout.

• Review and adjust wire sizes.

  Adjust the wire sizes for circuits.

• Draw conduit.

  Add conduit with or without fittings.

• Tag wiring and components (optional) .

  (Optional) Add tags to identify panel locations for circuits that you create. Tags can be customized to show specific equipment parameters.

• Assign demand factor types.

  You can specify one or more demand factors for lighting, power, HVAC, or other systems in the project based on system load.

• Assign load classifications.

  You can specify demand factors and assign them to corresponding load classifications that are assigned to electrical connectors.

• Edit panel schedule templates.

  Customizable panel schedule templates allow you to create panel schedules that conform to company standards.

• Create panel schedules.

  (Optional). Add panel schedules to sheets to provide customers with information about the circuits in the project.

• Check the systems.

  Use the Check Circuits tool to find components that are not assigned to a circuit.
