How to assign a new distribution system to an electrical penal

Hi everyone:

How can I assign a new distribution system to an electrical panel?
Thanks for you help!

You will first need to create a new distribution system... See Revit MEP 2008 user guide page 224... Go underneath the settings drop down menu to Electrical settings. On the left hand side click distribution system. Here you will be able to create your systems by adding them and modify what you need. Now when you go back to your electrical panel you should be able to assign the distribution system you just created. If not, double check the voltage of the panel and make sure it is the same as your distribution system...

Thanks for your replay.

Now I still have one question. One distribution system that I created for a 208V panel is single phase and 2 wrires. I still can not see that system on the panel. After I chaged the wires number to 3 and the L-LVoltage to 208, I can see it. Hope you can help me to solve this problem. Thanks!

You have to make sure that the Connector on the Panel can accommodate the distribution system you have created.
