Design Master Electrical RT

Design Master Electrical RT is a powerful plugin that expands the electrical design features in Autodesk Revit. With its wide range of functionalities, this plugin empowers electrical designers to create accurate and efficient electrical designs within the Revit environment.

One-Line Riser Diagrams

One of the standout features of Design Master Electrical RT is the ability to create one-line riser diagrams in a drafting view that is linked to your Revit model. This feature allows you to seamlessly integrate your electrical design with the rest of your project, ensuring that your one-line diagram is always synchronized with any changes made to the design.

Furthermore, the plugin offers customizable graphics, enabling you to match the style of your current one-line diagram. This level of customization ensures that your diagrams align with your organization's standards and enhances the overall professionalism of your electrical design.

Feeder Sizing

Design Master Electrical RT simplifies the process of sizing feeders by automatically determining the appropriate size based on the upstream overcurrent protection for each electrical equipment. However, the plugin also provides complete control, allowing you to override the chosen size when necessary. This flexibility ensures that your design meets specific project requirements.

Branch Circuit Sizing

Branch circuit sizing is another area where Design Master Electrical RT excels. By calculating the connected load, the plugin automatically determines the appropriate sizes for branch circuit breakers and wire. Similar to feeder sizing, you have complete control of the breaker and wire size, providing the flexibility to make adjustments as needed.

Fault Calculations

Design Master Electrical RT offers the ability to calculate the available fault current for each piece of electrical equipment. This information is crucial for setting the AIC rating for the device. With this feature, you can ensure that your electrical system is properly protected against potential faults, enhancing safety and reliability.

Voltage Drop Calculations

Another impressive feature of Design Master Electrical RT is its capability to calculate voltage drop between each piece of electrical equipment. This functionality is particularly useful in identifying and addressing voltage drop issues, ensuring that all equipment receives the appropriate voltage. Additionally, feeders exceeding the maximum 3% voltage drop allowed can be easily resized, greatly simplifying the optimization process.

Arc-Flash Calculations

Design Master Electrical RT streamlines the calculation of arc-flash hazards at each piece of electrical equipment. The plugin allows you to create an arc-flash schedule that displays the calculated values, enabling you to easily identify areas of potential concern. Furthermore, the ability to print arc-flash warning labels enhances safety practices by providing clear visual cues for field workers.

Selective Coordination

The selective coordination feature of Design Master Electrical RT is a valuable tool for ensuring proper coordination of breakers in your project. By assigning time-current curves to breakers and displaying them on a drafting view, you can easily verify and document the selective coordination of your electrical system. This feature adds an extra layer of reliability and safety to your design.

Conclusion

Design Master Electrical RT is an exceptional plugin that significantly enhances the electrical design capabilities of Autodesk Revit. With its comprehensive set of features, including one-line riser diagrams, feeder and branch circuit sizing, fault and voltage drop calculations, arc-flash analysis, and selective coordination, this plugin empowers electrical designers to create accurate and efficient electrical designs within the Revit environment.

By investing in Design Master Electrical RT, users gain access to a suite of tools that simplify and streamline their design process, ultimately saving time and improving overall design quality. With its user-friendly interface and robust functionality, this plugin is a must-have for any electrical designer using Autodesk Revit.
