In Autodesk Revit Electrical Design, ensuring that all electrical connectors are properly connected to circuits is critical to obtaining accurate load summaries and panel schedules. When nearing project completion, designers must confirm that every load (e.g., lighting fixture, power receptacle, or equipment) is associated with a circuit.

The Show Disconnects command is specifically designed to identify any electrical components whose connectors are not associated with a circuit or power system.

According to the Autodesk Revit MEP User’s Guide (Chapter: Electrical Systems – Checking Electrical Circuits):

“The Show Disconnects tool allows designers to visually identify elements in a project that contain electrical connectors not currently assigned to any circuit. Using this tool, Revit highlights unconnected components, helping to ensure load summaries and panel schedules accurately reflect all modeled elements.”

The command is found under Analyze tab ➤ Electrical panel ➤ Show Disconnects. It highlights any devices—such as lighting fixtures, receptacles, or equipment—that are not circuited, enabling correction before final load calculations are performed.

Other options explained:

A. Check Circuits: Verifies that existing circuits are complete, but it does not identify unconnected components.

B. System Browser: Lists systems hierarchically but does not flag disconnected devices.

C. Circuit Schedule: Displays circuit data only for connected components.

Hence, to identify unconnected elements before finalizing design documentation, the correct tool is Show Disconnects.
