CYPELEC Distribution

Tool for the automatic distribution of loads to the junction box

A typical electrical distribution is where certain lighting loads are connected to the same junction box. To speed up this process, a tool called "Horizontal, to junction box" has been included in the "Distribution" block of the toolbar.

The tool works by selecting the loads that are supplied from the same junction box, then click on the right mouse button and then select the junction box itself. The program will generate the connection distribution (star shaped), both horizontal and vertical, between each load and the junction box.

Assign power supply panel of the electric subpanel

The edit panel of the secondary switchboard is completed with the designation of its power supply panel. The power supply panel can be the main switchboard or another secondary panel.

This designation is mandatory and with it, the program detects that the panels are effectively interconnected and hence, there is a greater control of the proposed electrical distribution.

View of the circuit distribution

A side tool has been implemented, which users can use to search for panels and subpanels that have been entered, and their respective circuit distribution.

Once the analysis has finished, the tool allows users to mark the corresponding circuit to view its distribution on plan.

Series editing of loads that have been entered

The "Edit series" tool has been implemented, with which users can edit, in series, loads that have been introduced. This tool is located in the "Edit" section of the toolbar.

If the "Edit series" tool is active, when any element of the single-line diagram is edited, for example, a lighting point, the editing panel that appears has a lower bar that allows users to scroll along (backwards and forwards) all the loads that are present in the electrical distribution. This tool also allows users to copy the editing parameters of the load that is being displayed and paste them to another previous or later load.

The "Edit series" tool is designed to edit and view load characteristics more quickly.

"Match" tool

The "Match" tool has been implemented to copy parameters from one load to another. Simply select the load to be copied, then the destination loads. This option is located in the "Edit" section of the toolbar.

CYPELEC Distribution (new program)

“CYPELEC Distribution" is a program with which users can obtain the 3D implementation of the circuit and load distributions for electrical installation projects. This application is integrated in the Open BIM workflow using the IFC standard.

"CYPELEC Distribution" imports the geometry of the BIM project building to which it is connected on the BIMserver.center platform. If the project also includes a BIM model with the arrangement of the electrical mechanisms of the installation (designed, for example, by the "CYPELEC Electrical Mechanisms" application), users can import it to define the indoor electrical distribution.

“CYPELEC Distribution" provides a table of the results, the electrical distribution drawings and 3D Model of the electrical distribution.

Using the Open BIM workflow, CYPELEC "Distribution" exports information on the distribution, which can then be interpreted by electrical installation programs (such as CYPELEC Core, CYPELEC REBT, CYPELEC NF and CYPELEC RETIE) and they automatically generate the single-line diagram.
