Provides information about the feeder and details of associated protection devices such as fuses, circuit breakers, overload relays, and so forth in loads that belong to your plant. The values on this tab reflect the definitions that you make in the Electrical Engineer.

After you associate the equipment with a circuit, the feeder data becomes read-only. Further changes are possible only through the Electrical Engineer. See Associate Electrical Equipment with Feeders.

Location

Enables you to specify the location of the load feeder. Also, you can specify these settings by performing associations in the Electrical Engineer.

  • The data in the Location group box (power distribution board, bus, cell, circuit, and details of circuit internals) is shown regardless of whether the load is fed directly from a circuit or via several other equipment items.

  • Where the feeder source is an item of equipment other than a PDB, the source tag appears in the Feeder equipment box and all the properties in this section are disabled.

Power distribution board

Allows you to specify and display the power distribution board in which the feeder is located. If you select a PDB without specifying a bus, the software assigns the PDB to the load, but you can change feeder data values later if you need to.

Bus

Allows you to specify and display the bus to which the load is assigned. The values in this list depend on the selected power distribution board. If you select a bus without specifying a circuit, the software assigns the bus to the load, but you can change feeder data values later if you need to.

Cell

Allows you to specify and display a cell/bucket/ compartment to which the load is assigned. The values in this list depend on the selected bus.

Circuit

Allows you to specify and display the circuit to which the load is assigned. If the circuit resides in a particular cell, the values in this list depend on the selected cell. If the circuit is linked directly to the bus, and is not linked to a cell, the values in the list depend on the selected bus.

If you select a cell without selecting an existing circuit, the software automatically creates a new circuit when you select Apply.

Create circuit

Creates a new feeder circuit in the bus to which the load is assigned when you select Apply. The software automatically assigns the circuit name. When you select this check box, the Create cell check box becomes active. Also, with the new circuit, if you have specified a typical circuit for the load, the software assigns circuit components based on that typical circuit.

If you do not select this check box, then unless you select a cell, the software does not create a circuit and the load-bus association does not appear in the Electrical Engineer. In this case, you can select the check box the next time you select this tab folder to actually create the circuit.

Create cell

Creates a new cell in the bus to which the load is assigned. The software automatically assigns the cell name.

Phase 1

Allows you to associate the current load with phase 1 of the selected bus. The availability of this option depends on the value you selected from the Number of phases list on the Load Data tab and applies only where the selected bus has an AC supply. Phase 1 refers to the label L1 or R, as defined by the value of the Phase Label1 bus property.

Phase 2

Allows you to associate the current load with phase 2 of the selected bus. The availability of this option depends on the value you selected from the Number of phases list on the Load Data tab and applies only where the selected bus has an AC supply. Phase 2 refers to the label L2 or S, as defined by the value of the Phase Label2 bus property.

Phase 3

Allows you to associate the current load with phase 3 of the selected bus. The availability of this option depends on the value you selected from the Number of phases list on the Load Data tab and applies only where the selected bus has an AC supply Phase 3 refers to the label L3 or T, as defined by the value of the Phase Label3 bus property.

If you want a single-phase load to simulate a two-phase load that is connected to a three-phase bus, select two of the Phase check boxes.

Details of circuit internals

Displays details of the components in the selected circuit. The values are read-only.

To update the circuit components, you need to modify the selected circuit in the Electrical Index. For more information, refer to Related Topics.

Component Type

Displays the type of component in the circuit, such as a circuit breaker or a fuse.

Component Tag

Displays the component identifying tag, as shown in the Electrical Index.

Order

Determines the position of the component in relation to the bus when the circuit contains more than one component. The greater the value, the further the component is from the bus.

Show in SLD

Indicates whether the software shows a graphical representation of the component when you generate a single line diagram for the PDB.

Feeder equipment

Where equipment other than a PDB circuit feeds the load, the software displays the item tag of the feeding equipment in this box. For example, if a transformer feeds the load, the transformer tag is displayed.

Where a feeder equipment tag appears, the properties under the Location section are disabled. Likewise, where the feeder source is a PDB, the source data appears under the Location section and this property is disabled.

Last applied typical circuit

Indicates the last typical circuit that you applied to the load, if appropriate.

Tag

Displays the tag of the last applied typical circuit.

Function

Displays the function of the last applied typical circuit. For a load, this is always Feeder.

Manage Operating Cases

Opens the Manage Operating Cases dialog where you can add, edit, or delete property values specific to various plant operating cases that exist for the current plant item.
