I am not an engineer so I am starting from a basic level. I am working on a standard residence with a 200 amp panel with the following distribution settings
120/240, single phase, configuration - none, 3 wires, L-L voltage 240, L-G Voltage 120
I just need a 220V receptacle to use with Ovens and Dryers, etc. When I tried to add the 220V receptacle from the revit library I received a message stating that it could not be added to the panel because the 220V rating was out of range for the Line to Ground settings in the distribution system. When I opened up the family and selected the power connector I noticed that it was set to a single pole. Based on my limited knowledge I would expect that a 220V receptacle on a typical residential panel would need to be 2 poles. I saved the 220V receptacle from Revit with a new name and changed the number of poles to 2 - thinking that when I tried to connect it to the panel it would now connect and take up 2 slots on the panel. It did not - I now have a new error message stating that the 220V 2-pole receptacle cannot be added to the panel because the Line to Line voltage of 220V is outside the range of the distribution system.
I have been playing around with the settings on my electrical connector for my 220V 2-pole receptacle and I will now list the current settings which I know are incorrect(not an engineer.)
System Type - Power Balanced
Number of Poles - 2
Power Factor - Lagging
Load Classification - Receptacle
Voltage - 120V( I changed this, think it would have 120V per pole)
Apparent Load - 0.00 VA
Power Factor - 1.00
Thank you for your insight
