Marking Existing Equipment in EVlogic

When building a site that uses existing electrical equipment, EVlogic now lets you identify those objects so they’re excluded from BOM equipment pricing.

• What’s excluded: The equipment itself (switchgear and/or panel).
• What’s included: All associated OCPDs (breakers), transformers, conduit, and wire needed to connect the equipment.

This ensures your BOM remains accurate while avoiding double-counting costs

Example

You’re installing AC Level 2 stations on an existing switchgear. A new step-down transformer and distribution panel are required.
To properly calculate the pipe, wire, and breaker from the existing switchgear to the new transformer, you must place a switchgear object and mark it as Existing.

How to Mark Equipment as Existing

Step 1: Place the Equipment

• Add the equipment in its actual location on the site map.
• This allows EVlogic to perform all necessary calculations.

Step 2: Edit Properties

• Select the equipment.
• Click “Edit Properties.”

Step 3: Toggle “Existing Equipment”

• Turn on the option “Existing equipment on site.”

• Notes
  • You can mark equipment as existing at any stage of the build (before or after making connections).
  • EVlogic will size the gear for connected systems, which may not perfectly match the real-world existing equipment.
  • However, the breaker sizing placed in the existing gear will always be correct

• In the BOM:
  • The equipment will still appear, labeled (Existing).
  • It will show with no pricing, while all other items remain priced.
