TXGABE Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 How do you put mechanical equipment on a circuit??? thanks in advance:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKOU812 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets say for example a 3 phase 480v Chiller, how do I put it on a circuit?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKOU812 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 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.

DKOU812 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
