7.4.4.18 Pset_CableSegmentOccurrence

PSET_OCCURRENCEDRIVEN / IfcCableSegment

Cable Segment OccurrenceProperties for the occurrence of an electrical cable, core or conductor that conforms to a type as specified by an appropriate type definition within IFC. NOTE: Maximum allowed voltage drop should be derived from the property within Pset_ElectricalCircuit.

NameTypeDescription
DesignAmbientTemperature P_BOUNDEDVALUE / IfcThermodynamicTemperatureMeasure
Design Ambient TemperatureThe highest and lowest local ambient temperature likely to be encountered.
UserCorrectionFactor P_SINGLEVALUE / IfcReal
User Correction FactorAn arbitrary correction factor that may be applied by the user.
NumberOfParallelCircuits P_SINGLEVALUE / IfcCountMeasure
Number Of Parallel CircuitsNumber of parallel circuits.
InstallationMethod P_SINGLEVALUE / IfcLabel
Installation MethodMethod of installation of cable/conductor. Installation methods are typically defined by reference in standards such as IEC 60364-5-52, table 52A-1 or BS7671 Appendix 4 Table 4A1 etc. Selection of the value to be used should be determined from such a standard according to local usage.
InstallationMethodFlagEnum P_ENUMERATEDVALUE / IfcLabel / PEnum_InstallationMethodFlagEnum
Installation Method Flag EnumSpecial installation conditions relating to particular types of installation based on IEC60364-5-52:2001 reference installation methods C and D.
DistanceBetweenParallelCircuits P_SINGLEVALUE / IfcLengthMeasure
Distance Between Parallel CircuitsDistance measured between parallel circuits.
SoilConductivity P_SINGLEVALUE / IfcThermalConductivityMeasure
Soil ConductivityThermal conductivity of soil. Generally, within standards such as IEC 60364-5-52, table 52A-16, the resistivity of soil is required (measured in [SI] units of degK.m /W). This is the reciprocal of the conductivity value and needs to be calculated accordingly.
CarrierStackNumber P_SINGLEVALUE / IfcInteger
Carrier Stack NumberNumber of carrier segments (tray, ladder etc.) that are vertically stacked (vertical is measured as the z-axis of the local coordinate system of the carrier segment).
MountingMethod P_ENUMERATEDVALUE / IfcLabel / PEnum_MountingMethodEnum
Mounting MethodThe method of mounting cable segment occurrences on a cable carrier occurrence from which the method required can be selected. This is for the purpose of carrying out 'worst case' cable sizing calculations and may be a conceptual requirement rather than a statement of the physical occurrences of cable and carrier segments.
IsHorizontalCable P_SINGLEVALUE / IfcBoolean
Is Horizontal CableIndication of whether the cable occurrences are mounted horizontally (= TRUE) or vertically (= FALSE).
IsMountedFlatCable P_SINGLEVALUE / IfcBoolean
Is Mounted Flat CableIndication of whether the cable occurrences are mounted flat (= TRUE) or in a trefoil pattern (= FALSE).
CurrentCarryingCapacity P_SINGLEVALUE / IfcElectricCurrentMeasure
Current Carrying CapasityMaximum value of electric current which can be carried continuously by a conductor, a device or an apparatus, under specified conditions without its steady-state temperature exceeding a specified value. Based on IEC60826-11-13. NOTE: The temperature specified value is maximum Design Ambient Temperature.
MaximumCableLength P_SINGLEVALUE / IfcLengthMeasure
Maximum Cable LengthMaximum cable length based on voltagedrop. NOTE: This value may also be specified as a constraint within an IFC model if required but is included within the property set at this stage pending implementation of the required capabilities within software applications.
PowerLoss P_SINGLEVALUE / IfcPowerMeasure
Power LossThe power loss in [W]. Total loss of power across this cable.
SequentialCode P_SINGLEVALUE / IfcLabel Indicates the sequential code of the cable or wire.
