Hey Rob, thank you for making this incredible content. It’s a little hard to find really good Revit electrical content, so I am very thankful for the time you are spending making such detailed quality videos! I’m curious, have you ever circuited or connected devices like data drops, card readers, or security cameras to make a systems plan schedule?
Hey there John - thanks for the feedback! For the low-voltage / technology question, I don't personally handle that design, so have not developed it, but one of our company designers does, so I really should get with him and get up to speed so I can present some ideas. I've heard this request from a number of viewers such as yourself, so I know it's definitely desired!
Hello Rob, thanks a lot for your videos, great content. I know you mentioned that you're not a fan of showing the wires on every arc, but I was just wondering, when showing the wires on every arc, is it possible to show other than the standard hot, neutral and ground wire symbols? I mean, is it possible to show for example a switched phase, neutral, and ground? An unswitched phase, a switched phase, neutral, and ground? Thanks in advance.
Hey there. Yes, you can set it to show wires on every arc in the settings, and then you can manually increase or decrease the number of "hot wires" with the little "+" or "-" on each arc. Handy for showing like you mentioned, an additional switched or unswitched leg. I actually show this in episode 04 at 28:56. Hope this helps!
hello sir how are you ? i am flow your videos and i have a question about lighting circuiting that, How much 20watt light can be added to in a one circuit 20 amp in revit mcb please reply me i am waiting for your ans
Hey there - this is a code question, so I'll refer you to the NEC or code-related videos on CZcams. But the typical interpretation for commercial applications is that lighting is considered a "continuous load" - so you must multiply the actual load (in Volt-Amps) times 125% to get your "code load" - in essence, you can only load up a circuit breaker to 80% of its rating with continuous loads. Now for residential, the code has different rules - they actually do not give maximum loading, but has other methods of controlling how all of the loads in the residence are distributed among the required number of circuits. Revit is set up to warn you if you cross over the 80% loading threshold. Hope this helps!
