Electrical Panel Schedules

iahern — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 11:58:17 GMT

Hello,
I am currently starting/trying to circuit items back to a Panel which I made myself. This is straight forward enough. I would like to change settings in the panel schedule. For example where it says CKT and under it is 1-20, I would like to change it to 1L1, 1L2, 1L3, 2L1, 2L2, 2L3 etc. But I cannot seem to do this. Also the schedule does not balance out the loads across A, B & C for a 3 phase load. Is it possible to achieve the above please. If not can I import a Excel format schedule into my revit project and use this instead? It would have some formulae in it. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
To name circuits in panel schedule just select the desired panel in your project, in properties scroll down to Circuit Naming and choose "By Phase"
this will make it A,B,C as default to change this abbreviation go to Electrical Settings - General - and in [Circuit Naming By Phase A Label] Type L1 , and L2,L3 for phases B and C
I hope this is helpful.

Hi @iahern - the requested functionality no name circuits with that convention was added to Revit 2021. With prior versions, you could get close, but it was actually reversed.. e.g., L11 L21, etc.. I'd recommend you take a look at the default UK template w/ that version for an example of how this is setup for your requested convention. More info is here.

Hi Martin,

I am currently using the UK schedule in my project. I am using 2019 version unfortunately. 2021 looks really good for electrical design his time. Thanks for your help here.
