To facilitate the sizing of electrical equipment such as generators, distribution transformers and their feeder cables, buses, UPSs and so forth, Smart Electrical enables you to calculate bus load totals and store the results in the database. The software provides for a fast way to calculate the bus load totals for all the existing buses in the plant. Alternatively, you can select the PDBs or buses for which you want to perform the bus load calculation. Smart Electrical stores the calculation results in the database thus allowing you to generate an all feeder load summary report for the calculated loads. The following procedure shows how to calculate load totals for selected buses or PDBs.
-
In the Electrical Index, select the buses or PDBs for which you want to make the calculation.
-
Select Actions > Calculate Bus Loads > Selected PDBs or Buses.
-
The software makes the calculation and stores the results in the database.
-
You can now generate an all feeder load summary for the selected PDBs or buses.
-
The software takes into account any existing equipment that is connected in parallel.
