This procedure explains how to create ammeters, voltmeters, or multimeters. You can use these meters to measure the outputs of measuring transformers.

  1. In the Reference Data Explorer, expand the hierarchy Power Distribution Equipment > Disconnect Electrical Equipment > Metering Equipment.

    OR

    In the Electrical Index, expand the folder hierarchy by selecting the + icons or by double-clicking the folders, and then select an item according to the following step.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Under the Electrical Equipment folder, navigate to a load, an item of converting equipment, or another electrical item, and display the Metering Equipment folder for that item.

    • Expand the hierarchy Power Distribution Equipment > Power Distribution Boards and select a Metering Equipment folder under a power distribution board, a bus, a cell, or a transfer switch.

    • Expand the hierarchy Power Distribution Equipment > Power Distribution Boards and select a circuit.

    • Right-click the selected item, and then select one of the following:

      • New Ammeter.

      • New Voltmeter.

      • New Multimeter.

  3. Select the new item that you have created, and in the Properties window, type a numeric value for the Tag Sequence No property. The Tag Sequence No property determines the positioning of the meter on the SLD.

    SHARED Tip To display a meter on an SLD, you need to drag it to the SLD after generation.

  4. With the item selected, do one of the following:

    • Select Edit > Common Properties.

    • Right-click the item and on the shortcut menu and select Common Properties.

    • Press CTRL + F2.

  5. On the Metering Equipment Common Properties dialog, enter the required values for the item.

  6. For a multimeter, select the Ranges tab to specify the meter functions and required range of values for each function.

If the parent folder contains custom folders, the created item is placed in the root folder. If the items properties match the filter properties of a custom folder a copy of the item is also placed in the custom folder. Refreshing or closing and re- opening Smart Electrical moves the item from the root folder to the All Items folder.
