Enables you to define the document number, SLD type, and other general settings for a single line diagram.
Document
Allows you to define a document name and description of a single line diagram that you are going to generate.
Document number
Allows you to type an SLD name.
Description
Allows you to type a short SLD description.
SLD type
Allows you to select a type of SLD that you want to generate. These options are not available when generating PDB-based single line diagrams.
Conventional
Generates a full and unfiltered single line diagram that includes all the associated cables, converting equipment, and loads.
Overall
Generates an SLD that displays multiple levels of buses but does not include individual loads. The following table specifies the items that are included in overall SLDs:
|
Item |
Displayed in SLD |
|---|---|
|
Power sources |
Shown |
|
Buses |
Shown including their incomers. If there are bus incomers that are not part of the SLD scope, the SLD displays the references to their feeders. Also, overall SLDs show coupled buses and their incomers and feeders. |
|
Circuit internals |
Shown according to the settings on the Circuits & Internals tab. |
|
Feeder circuits |
Shown only if connected to a transformer, battery bank, UPS, incomer circuit, or any load that is shown in the SLD. |
|
Converting equipment |
Shown |
|
Loads |
Not shown apart from motors and heaters that have a minimum rated power setting defined on the Miscellaneous tab. |
|
Cables and busways |
User-defined. You can show or hide cables and busways as you require. Note that if you choose to display the cables, the software will show only those cables that are connected to the loads included in the current SLD. |
Based on bus rated voltage
Generates an SLD based on the bus rated voltage that you select from the list below.
Electrical analysis SLD
Generates a single line diagram that you can publish to an electrical analysis application such as ETAP. Also, after selecting this option you have to define the options for circuits and circuit internals on the Circuits and Internals tab.
Include in SLD
Enables you to define the scope of the source data that you want to include in a single line diagram that you generate for electrical items in the Electrical Engineer. Note that these options do not apply to SLDs based on power distribution boards.
All items powered from the selected source
Generates an SLD for the electrical items you selected in the Electrical Engineer (shown in the box below). The SLD will include the selected items and all the items powered from the selected sources. The software will generate an SLD where the selected electrical items are the origin points from which the power network is drawn.
The selected sources and their sub-items in the Expanded Electrical Engineer
Generates an SLD for the selected sources. To use this option, expand the required Electrical Engineer hierarchy and then select the items that will be the SLD entry points. The SLD will include only the selected items and their sub-items located under them in the expanded hierarchy of the Electrical Engineer. Note that this option is not available for SLDs generated from the Electrical Index.
The selected sources and the items connected below the specified number of bus levels
Generates an SLD for the selected items in the Electrical Engineer and in the Number of bus levels box, type the number of bus levels below the selected sources to be included in the SLD. The SLD will display the selected items and all the items connected to the specified number of bus levels below the source. The SLD will also include the buses at the levels you define, all the circuits belonging to these buses down to the incomer connections or until their electrical end.
Feeder display options
Allows you to select an option that determines the extent of the downstream branch display in the generated SLD. Available only when generating SLDs for power distribution boards. The following three options are available:
Do not show downstream branch items
Instructs the software to show only PDB internal items: buses, cells, circuits, and circuit internals. The items that are connected directly to the PDB internal items will be represented by a reference label.
Show all items in the downstream branch up to the first load
Instructs the software to show all the items in the feeder branch up to the first equipment item that is defined as load. If this load is connected to a downstream equipment item, the generated SLD will show a reference label that represents this equipment.
Show all downstream branch items
Instructs the software to show the complete feeder branch that will include all electrical items in the branch regardless whether they have been defined as loads. The SLD will also show in the downstream branch other buses within the same PDB and all the equipment that is connected to their feeders downstream. If a load in the feeder branch is connected to a downstream bus that belongs to another PDB, the SLD will show a reference label pointing to the associated PDB and bus.
Note that the software stops the display of the downstream branch at the item which
belongs to the Loads folder in the Electrical Index. In this case, the software shows a reference label that points to the existing downstream
equipment.
Incomer display options
Allows you to select an option that determines whether to show the upstream incomer branch in the generated SLD. Available only when generating SLDs for power distribution boards. The following two options are available:
Do not show upstream branch items
Instructs the software not to display any items of the upstream branch. However, the generated SLD will show a reference to the upstream equipment that feeds the incomer.
Show upstream branch items
Instructs the software to display the items of the upstream branch. In the incomer branch, the software will show the first associated electrical equipment and then a reference to the next equipment item that is connected in the upstream branch.
Activate 'Hide PDB internals' property
Allows you to show the entire PDB and all of its sub-items as a single block without showing the PDB sub-items on your SLD. This option takes effect only if the Hide PDB internals property for the current PDB is set to TRUE in the Properties window.
Activate 'Hide bus feeders' property
Allows you to hide the bus feeders on your SLD. This option takes effect only if the Hide bus feeders property for the current bus is set to TRUE in the Properties window. Note that if you do not select the Activate 'Hide bus feeders' property check box and you set the Hide bus feeders property for the current bus to FALSE, the software will still hide bus feeders if you selected the Activate 'Hide PDB internals' property check box and set its Hide PDB internals property to TRUE.
