This revit electrical tutorial shows every step involved to customize the out-of-the-box 3-phase panelboard to create your own 120/208V single-phase panelboard, including adding a single-phase distribution system to your electrical model. You have probably noticed that Revit is just a skeleton to build upon - customizing is essential, so follow along on this channel as I show you many different ways to add valuable electrical-only content!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos on custom families Rob! You definitely teach and explain family editing so well!!! You have the best electrical content for Revit on CZcams! Thank you so much for helping others learn and sharing your knowledge on this platform sir!!!
I appreciate your feedback John, which keeps me motivated to continue making content - so glad it is helping viewers like yourself. Cheers!
Thank You so much, Sr!!! You helped me a lot! A big hug from Brazil!
I'm glad it was helpful for you!
Thank you so much for that tutorial. that helped me alot
I'm so glad that helped you! Yes, dealing with all of the various electrical settings is confusing, especially at first!
Thank you very much. It's very nice to listen to you.
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for listening!
Awesome video Rob! Do you have any videos where you show how you customized the panel schedule templates, like for your MDB?
Thanks John! I did do a mini-panel schedule customization at the end of my electrical distribution video, but I plan to do an extensive detailed panel schedule video soon! czcams.com/video/G_wVE1ETNfc/video.html
Today I subscribed you
Thanks for sharing 🙏
I truly appreciate that! So glad you find the channel helpful. Cheers
THANK YOU ROB FOR THIS AMMAZING VIDEOS YOU DID TO TRAIN DRAFTER LIKE ME, I JUST HAVE A QUESTION HOW CAN I CONECT A 4 TON A/C UNIT IN THE ATIC ON MY 120/240 SINGLE FACE PANEL? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
Hello there Fredy - thanks for your feedback! So I cover 120/240V 1-ph panel and equipment connections in my Residential project series, specifically this episode czcams.com/video/FNZDAQCuskc/video.html. Hope this helps!
Hey can you specific about the line to line voltage. By single phase you mean phase neutral and ground right?
Hey there - good question. By single phase, we mean there is no "3rd" phase. So a single-phase 120/208V system has 208V line-to-line between the 2 phases, and 120V between each line and neutral (and thus, ground). Revit itself uses a "2-phase" nomenclature to identify if a load is connected Line-to-line, or between "2 phases". But industry just calls it a 1-phase system. Now if you have a 120/240V 1-phase system like American households, because the 240V coil is center-tapped to create a neutral, it is often called "split-phase". Hope this helps!
1. panel 208V/120V should be 3-phase 4-wire, or 2-phase, 3-wire. [it can't be single phase, panel 240v/120v could be single phase]
2. Revit can create database for not only electrical system, but others, it is complicated to make drawing [compared with Auto CAD], maybe AI can use Revit to do fast and better.
3.What is your opinion, Rob?
Hey there Tiger - thanks for commenting! Yes, can do a 208Y/120V 3ph 4w or a 120/208V 1ph 3w (revit calls it 2-phase since line to line). Can also do a 120/240V 1ph 3w (2-phase in revit again). Could even do a 120/240V 3ph 4w system, but I don't believe it would handle the "high-leg" or "wild-leg" properly (voltage of one phase is 208V to neutral instead of 120V). Not sure what you mean by comment #2, but yes, Revit is used for all systems and all disciplines - it can be more "complicated" because of its nature of containing so much more technical information as well as plenty of 3rd dimensional data. However, with the proper set-up (i.e. custom families created properly) and training, it can actually speed up production vs AutoCAD, and cut down on errors (i.e. excel spreadsheet loads not matching CAD circuits, etc). At least that has been my experience!
Cannot assign or add 100 A, 120 V/208 V, Three Phase, 4 Wires, Star to Circuit. The Voltage (230 V) for the Circuit is out of range for the Line to Ground Voltage for 100 A, 120 V/208 V, Three Phase, 4 Wires, Star (The Line to Ground Voltage is specified in the assigned Distribution System). explain please i stuck through vedio please please
Hey there! Sounds like you have a 208Y/120V-3ph-4w panel, and are trying to connect a 230V (or 240V) load? The load does need to be within the voltage range of the panel/distribution system, so within 200V to 220V line-to-line for the 208V panel. So either you need to change the load's voltage to around 208V, or you need a 240V panel. If I'm misunderstanding your question, please explain further. Good luck!
Thanks for sharig. How can I show cable cross-sections instead of "#" in mm²?
My first thought is that the wire size representation is hard-coded in Revit for AWG, and is not changeable (unfortunate for most of the world, I would assume). That being said, there may be workarounds that try to overcome that obstacle, of which I'm afraid I am not familiar with at this time.
@@ElectricRob Thank you
Thanks a lot
Thanks for watching!
