How to Use Power Consumption & Heat Load in X-DRAW design?
Overview
The Power Consumption & Heat Load feature in XTEN-AV allows you to view and manage the power consumption and heat load of products included in a project's Bill of Materials (BOM). The feature generates a per-project document containing the power consumption of each product, total power consumption, and heat load. You can manually edit power consumption values, use AI to fill in missing values, and download the report in PDF or XLS format. This feature helps you review the power and heat requirements of the equipment included in your AV project.
Benefits of Power Consumption & Heat Load
- Project-Level Power Analysis: View the power consumption and heat load of products included in the project BOM.
- Easy Data Management: Edit power consumption values directly in the report.
- AI-Assisted Data Entry: Use AI to fill in missing power consumption values.
- Automatic Calculations: View updated total power consumption and heat load when values are edited.
- Flexible Reporting: Download the report in PDF or XLS format.
- Improved Project Planning: Review equipment power and heat requirements in one place.
How to Access Power Consumption & Heat Load in X-DRAW design?
- On Search & Add Products page click on the View Design Doc button.
- Once you click on it, It will lead you to View Design Doc page
- Locate the Power Consumption & Heat Load option and click on it.
- Once you click on it, you will be able to view the all your BOM product with Power Consumption (W each) value.
Notes
- The Power Consumption & Heat Load report is generated at the project level and includes products added to the project's Bill of Materials (BOM).
- The report displays the power consumption of individual products, total project power consumption, and the overall heat load.
- Users can manually edit the Power Consumption (W each) value for individual products directly in the report.
- AI can be used to populate missing power consumption values, reducing manual data entry.
- Total power consumption and heat load are automatically recalculated when power consumption values are updated.
- The report helps users estimate the electrical power and heat requirements of equipment included in an AV project.
- Users can download the report in PDF or XLS format for documentation and future reference.
- The accuracy of the total power consumption and heat load calculations depends on the availability and correctness of the product-level power consumption values.
