Electrical Connector parameters

1

Hi everybody,
I search how extract all information and parameters from connectors.
With Dynamo i don’t find, but with Python and Dynamo may be ?
I find how count all connector in a family and also compare with electrical parameters.
So I can define if the family is correct :

  • with one connector minimum
  • with the correct system type for the category
    But i can’t read:
  • Power Factor state
  • Power Factor
  • Utility
  • Connector description
    Have a good day

would you mind showing your graphs so we can have a better understanding of what you are trying to achieve

This page of the API shows you what you can retrieve from a connector: Connector class. You can get utility, the mep system it is attached to, etc.

Also relevant might be the ConnectorManager class.

Hi,
Thank’s for your help.
I don’t know Python so I try to my first step to use an existing RIE Power “GetElementConnector” Python.
I joint picture of my Dynamo I just read some parameters and export them to Excel.
Some are disconnect (space: too slow for test)
I want to separate output and add Some other parameters.

Power State Factor (more usefull)
Load Sub-Classification Motor (less usefull)
Power Factor (more usefull)
Utility (less usefull)
