Transformer sizes

How were the sizes for transformers
determined??

Were they built off of a particular manufacturer's
specs??

Hi Matt -

 

Most of the transformers are based on catalog
cuts from a year-2000 major electrical equipment manufacturer.  We try to
select a good representative sample.  I created any
others back in the early days (R1) by modeling every transformer that
was for sale on a used commercial electrical equipment dealer web site that just
happened to publish overall dimensions so the manufacturers vary on
those.

 

We are always adding new content - What kind/sizes
of transformers would you like to see?

It's not that I want to see more sizes, it's just
that I got a request to change the plan view block to match our previous
pre-AutoCAD software symbols.  It's not a big deal.  It's more of a
pain in the @$$ than anything else and I was just curious as to how you came to
use the sizes that you did.

 

Thanks!

Don't forget that MvParts have a symbol block for
display in the IsoSchematic Display configuration.  You can change the
symbol block assignment in the Blocks & Names in content
builder.
