It is not uncommon for electrical devices or light fixtures to be part of two circuits. Since many of the out-of-the-box Revit MEP devices and lights only contain a single electrical connector, users will add a second connector in order to create two separate power circuits. The user creates the circuits, selects a panel, names the circuits, and even verifies that the circuits appear in the panel schedule.
No issues up to this point.
Now, the electrical designer wants to tag the device or fixture to annotate both circuits in the view. This is where the problem occurs. Currently, Revit MEP will only show the circuit for the primary electrical connector when tagging the device directly. The second circuit will not appear in the tag (see below).
So, what is the workaround?
In order to annotate the circuits for multiple connectors, you must place wires on each circuit and tag the wires. With each wire attached to separate connectors, the wire tag will reflect the associated circuit on the individual wires as shown below.
Until there is a way for tags to recognize multiple connectors, I hope this workaround is helpful.
