Circuit Layout

The Circuit Layout screen is an intuitive, graphic representation of the developing panel board permitting dynamic circuit layouts with a “drag” & “drop” placement of OCPD devices.

Although the placement of the OCPD devices and resulting circuit number is very simple, the computing power is anything but simple. With each OCPD placement or relocation Volts automatically computes:

Phase load balance in the selected unit.
Unbalanced neutral current in 3-phase, 4-wire systems.

Many of the developing panel's characteristics can also be defined with the Circuit Layout module.

		Circuit quantity adjustable from 2 to 168 sections (unlimited when using as an MCC)
		Panel voltage and phase
		Panel load computation method:
			per Phase Balance
			as a Balanced Load
		Panel method of computation:
			Summation of Load Values
			As a Motor Control Center (MCC)
			Single Family Dwelling
			Multiple Family Dwelling
			Hotel - no cooking
			Office
			School
			Hospital
			Store or Warehouse
			Restaurant
			Welding / Industrial
			Farm
			RV Park

Even the OCPD image can be changed to better represent those used in your project and Volts Panel Layout report.

The Circuit Layout module works in conjunction with Volts' Circuit Load Analysis and all of Volts' reports.
