Voltage Drop Calculation

  It would be very useful to have a voltage drop calculation built into the evolve Conduit Run Schedule so we can verify a feeder is sized for its length.

  The idea here would be to create a built-in calculation that takes into account wire length, wire types, wire sizes, etc. The link below gives a great description of what is involved in this. I know Design Master provides this through a workaround right now, but building it into eVolve would be great. An additional calculation that would be incredible to have built-in is Cable Pull Calculations, as in the second link below.

  We use Design Master ElectroBIM. This helps size conduit and wire along with providing corrections for voltage drop. They also have an export / import with Evolve.
