I am looking to create a shared parameter (elec discipline) for horsepower, phase and amps but not sure which type to use. Here are the choices in Revit MEP 2010, thanks in advance.

I would classify horsepower under "Power" and phase and amps under "Electrical Potential" but I have been wrong in the past.-Alex Cunningham -

Elec Potential units are V (volts), so I dont think that is the correct type to use for phase and ampsComment

Found a answer and thought I would share....
Name Discipline Type of Param
Volt Elec Elec Potential
Amp Elec Current
Phase Elec Number of Poles
Horsepower Elec PowerComment

or maybe not.... using "power" for horsepower is showing units as VA (volt amp) which is not right. Also, I am told by our elec eng that number of poles has nothing to do with phase, so my question still stands for these 2.Comment

Hi,
I'm looking at trying to create a parameter that will allow families to act differently depending on the phase they are created in. The...May 23, 2013, 02:45 PM -

About once every six months I try to use the electrical parameter "Number of Poles" in a formula and it can't. By chance,...March 4, 2015, 02:57 PM -
Are there any cases where it is a good idea to use a shared parameter you created instead of a built-in parameter that comes with the family category?...March 27, 2019, 07:25 PM

There are several phase filters that stock templates come with. Sometimes people aren't certain which ones to use or why they exist. There are three options...March 6, 2014, 04:15 AM
