To show transformer loss on panels, you must calculate the loss manually and enter it as a custom load on the transformer.

Inserting Feeder IDs for One-Line Diagram Users

Previously, Feeder IDs needed to be inserted manually; beginning with Design Master Electrical 8.4, they can now be inserted automatically by having this customization option enabled.

Solar/Photovoltaic Systems in Design Master Electrical

Design Master can’t perform calculations for DC systems like solar arrays, but you can model them as generators to connect the AC side to your system.

Ground Wire Is Too Large

If you upsize your conductors, Design Master will automatically upsize your ground in accordance with NEC 250.122(B).

Circuiting and Homeruns with Junction Boxes

You cannot circuit the junction box device type, but you can model a different device type after a junction box and circuit that.

NEC 220.55 for Single-Phase Ranges and Three-Phase Service
