Voltage Drop

Creates a schedule labeled VOLTAGE DROP SCHEDULE and sets it to the active view. If a schedule of that name already exists, this command sets the schedule to the active view but does not otherwise modify it.

The default schedule layout is shown below. Information about the voltage drop at the upstream feeder for each piece of distribution equipment in the project is listed. The devices are ordered based upon the connections between devices in the model.

Once the schedule is created, you can modify it using standard Revit tools.

tip

The VOLTAGE DROP column uses the DMET_VoltageDrop_Feeder shared parameter by default. This parameter displays a warning if the value exceeds the Feeder voltage drop percentage limit option in the Project Options command. To display the fault without any warnings, replace the column with the DMET_VoltageDrop_Feeder_NoWarnings shared parameter.

Related Options

There are several options that affect how voltage drop is calculated. See the Voltage Drop Project Options section for more information.

Output shared parameter values as uppercase: Sets whether shared parameter outputs are displayed only in uppercase letters.

Feeder wire make-up length: Sets additional length to be added to feeders for connections, which can impact voltage drop calculations.

Branch circuit wire make-up length: Sets additional length to be added to branch circuits for connections, which can impact voltage drop calculations.
