Export lump sum voltage drop reports to Excel |
Ribbon: FireCAD > Export > Export Lump Sum Reports To Excel
Prerequisites
- A FireCAD project must be open
Overview
Exports a lump-sum voltage drop check, one Excel sheet per circuit. The devices are grouped by part and setting, and the circuit's whole load is placed at the end of the line, so the result is more conservative than the Point-to-Point Report: the same circuit can pass point-to-point and fail lump sum. Each sheet compares the circuit and card current with their limits and shows the end-of-line voltage against the minimum operating voltage, green when it passes and red when it fails.
Steps
- On the FireCAD Tools tab, open the Export panel and choose Export Lump Sum Reports To Excel (or type
ATEXPORT_LUMP_SUM_REPORTS) - In the Save As window, pick the folder and file name and click Save
- In Report Settings, tick the circuits to include
- Click Accept. The workbook opens in Excel with one sheet per circuit
