Hello
I am trying to setup Electrical systems in Revit, firstly a lighting circuit
I have created 2 distribution systems:
230/400 Single Phase, Phase-Single, Configuaration-None, Wires-2, L-L Voltage-None, L-G Voltage-230
230/400 Three Phase, Phase-Three, Configuration-Wye, Wires-3, L-L Voltage-230, L-G Voltage-None
I have created a light fitting family, added a connector and set voltage to 230 and no. of poles to 1.
I have set the connector on my DB to voltage 230 and number of poles to 1.
How do you get a distibution board to recognise different distribution systems, what criteria does revit use for this?
I have added my light fittings to an electrical circuit but when i try to select panel from the system tools menu I get an error message:
Cannot assign or add 225A, 0V/230V, Three Phase, 3 Wires, wye to circuit.
The voltage (230V) for the circuit is out of range for the line to ground voltage for 225A, 0V/230V, Three phase, 3 wires, wye.
I have tried lots of different settings for all of the above but still cannot get my circuit to link to my panel so any input as to what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.
Hello, and welcome the the Discussion Groups! Sorry for the delay of response.
Can you post images of or list your Voltage Definitions and Distribution Systems under Electrical Settings?

Error Message read: Cannot assign or add 225A, 0V/230V, Three Phase, 3 Wires, wye to circuit.

The error seems to suggest that it isn't acceptable to assign the Line to Ground voltage (L-G) to be None. If I put a meter on them I'm pretty sure I'd get a reading of 230 Volts. Ultimately the electrical logic has to work for Revit to let us connect families and their connectors together.
