If you feed (for example) C and A phases from a 3-phase board into a single phases XFMR and then out to single phase 2-pole panel, have you found a method to make sure the panel continues to read/display it's loads on the C and A phases? I find that Revit immediately defaults back to A and B. I would prefer it to bring the phase names through consistent with their upstream destinations of the 3-phase system. Cheers
Hey there Sam - great question! I have to admit I've not tried this scenario, but I sure will to see what's up. My gut feeling is that like any other 2-pole load, I would expect the loads would report on those 2 phases only, but maybe something crazy happens thru the transformer. Will see what I can find out and report back!
Hey John. The only trouble I've had similar to that is when for some reason there is an error in the panel schedule template. In the "panel schedule editor", check the cell that is supposed to contain the sum of the loads for phase B to make sure it is the correct parameter.

Thank you sir
You bet!

Hey Rob have you ever had an issue with a 120/240V panel schedule where phase B doesn’t sum up the KVA?
