Eaton Revit models allow you to plan and layout space requirements for Eaton equipment. Many PDU, RPP,
and STS configurations are available. You should consult with your local or regional sales representatives for
help in selecting the correct Revit model(s) for you configuration.
1. The dimensions of the unit’s Enclosure are shown in models by solid lines only or by solid lines with a gray
shaded area. The unit’s front, back, left, and right clearances are shown with dashed lines only or by
dashed lines with transparent red shading.
Figure 1. Enclosure Dimensions and Clearance Dimensions Examples
2. The unit’s height, length, width, and clearances are indicated under the Properties tab Family Types key.

Figure 2. Properties Tab — Family Types
These values can also be determined by using the Dimension tool and checking the dimension of the
drawing.
3. After you highlight the Revit model in the Revit Project work space, clearance requirements are listed in
the Properties Tab.
Dimensions
Power Distribution Unit Back Clearance 0’ 6”
Power Distribution Unit ront Clearance 3’ 0”
Power Distribution Unit Left Clearance 3’ 0”
Power Distribution Unit Right Clearance 3’ 0”
Clearances may also be turned on or off for display purposes only by toggling the corresponding box in the
properties tab. The clearance remains in effect whether or not it is displayed.

Most Eaton PDU’s, STSs, and RPPs have optional floor stands, which have a range of available heights. The
height of the floor stand can be selected or changed in either a Revit Family Window or in a Revit Project.

1. Open the Revit Family Floor Stand model.
2. In the Properties window, click on Family Types.
Figure 5. Properties — Family Types
3. This will bring up a Family Types table. Within the table, click the drop down list next to Name and select
the Floor Stand height that you want. (Floor Stands are identified by height and part number. A specific part
number can have a range of heights.)

You can create PowerWave 2 Bus System models in Revit Project for an vertical straight bus run. The following
instructions provide a quick guide to assembling models from PowerWave 2 Bus System component models.
The methodology for assembling bus runs in Revit is the same for all amperages, but parts must be matched
by amperage. PowerWave 2 Bus Systems are available in 250A, 400A, and 00A systems. Part models are
listed by part name and amperage. Choose the part model corresponding to your bus run’s amperage. For
example, when “Standard End Feed” is specified, choose “Standard End Feed (250A)” or other amperage
choice from the model list, as appropriate for your bus run.
Figure 9. PowerWave 2 Bus Run Model List wit Amperages
44..11 SSttaannddaarrdd EEnndd eedd
1. Begin by importing the standard End Feed model for your bus run’s amperage. There are two model
choices: Standard End Feed with Monitoring and Standard End Feed without Monitoring.

2. Place the Standard End Feed anywhere in the project space.
3. Clearances:
a. The Standard End Feed’s front clearance is shown by dashed lines of by dashed lines with transparent
red shading.

c. Clearances can be turned on or off for display purposes only by toggling the corresponding box in the
Properties tab. When a clearance box is unchecked, the clearance requirement is still in effect, but is
not displayed.

Next add a Starter Rail to the bus run. The first bus rail connected to a Standard End Feed must be a Starter Rail
and cannot be a Standard Rail. There can be only one Starter Rail per bus run.
1. Import the Starter Rail model.
a. Align the middle axis of the Starter Rail with the middle axis of the Standard End Feed.
b. To assure proper alignment, you should place a 0–inch dimensional constraint between the Standard
End Feed and the Starter Rail.
Figure 12. Standard End Feed and Starter Rail Dimensional Constraint
0’ - 0”
2. The length of the Starter Rail can be adjusted in Revit to fit your needs, as follows:
a. Highlight the Starter Rail.
b. Select the Properties tab.
c. Click on the Starter Rail drop down menu located at the top of the Properties tab.

All bus rails added to the bus run after the first rail are Standard Rails.
1. Import the Standard Rail model into the project.
2. Click to place as many Standard Rails as you need. (Rails are joined by Couplers. While Couplers are
essential parts of the bus run, a Coupler does not change the length of the bus run and is automatically
included with each Standard Rail.)
