Switchgear Drafting Video

How to draft complex switchgear on your single-line diagram.

We look at the following topics for switchgear drafting:

  • An example of manually drafting switchgear
  • Two ways to model the switchgear in Revit
  • Creating graphic families for switchgear as a single piece of equipment, or as multiple pieces of equipment
  • Manually drafting switchgear within the Revit drafting view
  • Labeling switchgear graphics
  • Considerations when modifying default ElectroBIM graphic families

We also answer the following questions:

  • "How would the switchgear be shown on the floor plan?"
  • "How does modeling the switchgear each way impact fault and voltage drop calculations?"
  • "What would be the best way to include an ATS for the switchgear?"
