Type in LP1, so it becomes the current panel, if it is not already assigned as the default panel. Select the Panel option on the command line. When the devices are already selected, the command line displays the current panel the devices will be assigned to. You can select the devices first, or you can start the command first and then select the devices. Using a selection window, select the lights in the offices as shown. Close the Circuit Manager after adding the circuit. When the circuit appears, rename it to circuit LP1-21. At the bottom of the dialog, select the Add Circuit tool, and select the Power and Lighting system. Start by adding a single pole circuit to panel LP1. AutoCAD MEP checks for overloading when devices are added to a circuit, but it is a good idea to check this yourself first. You need to check this prior to assigning devices to a circuit, and make sure you are not overloading a circuit. Selecting the Power and Lighting system for the panel displays the load totals assigned to the circuits on the panel. When the selection is expanded, a list of all assigned circuits appears.
Expand PP1, which is the main distribution panel, and locate the LP1 panel. Click Circuit Manager, and the Circuit Manager palette opens. Select the panel, and the context-sensitive ribbon for panel editing appears.
Select the Properties palette, and under Design Data, note the name of the panel, LP1, which is a power and lighting panel rated as a 120/208 volt panel. Select the lower panel in the electrical room as shown. Make sure you have the Electrical workspace set as the default workspace. The CIRCUITASSIGN and PANELASSIGN tools help you to expedite this process.īefore starting with these tools, it is important to review a panel’s properties prior to assigning devices to a circuit on the panel. There is another method you can use to assign devices to a circuit, or assign a circuit to a panel. Using the CIRCUITASSIGN and PANELASSIGN tools to add and edit electrical properties on a device.ĪutoCAD MEP creates an electrical circuit between devices and panels, using the properties of the device to select the panel and add it to the circuit.
