Modifying a Branch Circuit Device

How to work with branch circuit devices.

Start in the Panel Schedule for panel E.

Enable Circuit Descriptions with ElectroBIM​

With ElectroBIM, circuit descriptions can be changed in several different places to give you greater control over the values displayed in the panel schedule. By default, this functionality is bypassed so you can continue to set circuit descriptions through typical Revit methods if you prefer.

To control your circuit descriptions using ElectroBIM:

  1. Run the ElectroBIM Design→  Customization→ Project Options command. The Options dialog box will open.

  2. Set Circuit description method ▾ to Use ElectroBIM circuit descriptions.

  3. Press the button to close the dialog box.

Modify the Elevator Motor​

  1. Select circuit 1 on the panel schedule and run the ElectroBIM Design→  Instance Edit command. The Instance Edit dialog box will open for the elevator motor on the circuit.

    note

    This functionality only works on circuits with one branch circuit device. If the circuit has multiple devices, the  Panel Edit command will be run instead, and the current distribution equipment will be active.

  2. Make the following changes to the elevator motor:

    1. Set Circuit Description ▾ to Set circuit description in instance and enter Elev Motor in the field provided.
    2. Set OCP Trip ▾ to 100.
    3. Set Conductor ▾ to Size based upon breaker.

  3. Press the button to close the dialog box.

The Circuit Description, Wire Size, and Trip values for the circuit will update on the panel schedule to reflect the changes made.
