DQ Projects dwellingPS 1.2.0

dwellPS is a plugin for Autodesk® Revit® to draw and calculate panel schedules for 120/240 V (3-wire) residential units without creating circuits. This plugin uses standard and optional methods of the NFPA 70® standard. The plugin is limited to 84 poles on the panel, with a graphical representation of the circuit with two horizontal columns. It uses the following number of manufactured poles: 6, 18, 24, 30, 42, 54, 66 or 84. This value is chosen according to the next size of the total number of poles of the circuit.

This plugin does not use Revit's panel templates, but rather uses common callout families for panel drawings, all data is provided according to NFPA 70® standards, such as dimensions wire, ground wire size, breaker rating and conduit diameter.

This is an alternative to the conventional workflow that can be used in electrical projects in Revit, users can save data in Txt files for each panel, which can then be loaded data up so users can have a database for different projects.

Users can choose the allowable current of the electrical wiring according to NFPA 70 standard, for copper at 60 ° C, 75 ° C or 90 ° C.

In this version, users have two types of dashboards:

• Normal: The switchboard supplies the final or branch circuit load.
• Distribution Table: A table that provides multiple regular tables with the previously mentioned data insertion functionality, for this type, only the optional method can be used.
