Mechanical equipment ?question?

How do you put mechanical equipment on a circuit???


thanks in advance:D

I need to know additional data first before I can help.

Are you talking about a 208/120V & 480/277V 3ph. circuit TAG for say eithe RTU, Chiller, and/or Boiler Pump type of Equipment?

Lets say for example a 3 phase 480v Chiller, how do I put it on a circuit??

I'd have to do some quick math on my TI-83, but the total load depends on sizing the number of fans/motors as I recall. The total load is the amount of 480V power draw from the CH-001.

Each phase will circuit the load per A, B, or C. The total load shall be the number of watts per ckt and divided by the third phase equilavent. Shown as CH-001--->PANEL#-A,B,C.

Let me know how this is working out.

I know how to work out the load,,,,I just don't know how to asign a circuit on "mechanical" equipment.

I can circuit lighting, power (receptacles, etc), just not mechanical equipment.


When I insert for example a fan, and i go to the properties palette it does not give me the "Electrical properties circuits" option.

please advise.

I did not mean to go down this path w/o acknowledging the MEP edtion - I am alittle off track on this one - my bad. I've only heard about Engineering Edition interface like this. I'll keep tabs only as reference for someday I may just run into this same circumstance.

No problem DKOU, in this engineering MEP firm we have just made the transision of Autocadd 2008 to MEP 2009.

Preciate your help.
