Allows you to specify various preference settings for the generation All Feeder/Multi-Sheet Load Summary reports.
Displaying Plant Item Values for Plant Operating Cases
Just before the software starts generating your report, it automatically opens a dialog box which allows you to select the plant operating cases for which you want to run the report. As a result, the generated report will contain sets of load data, each set for a different operating case that you select. This way you can compare the various bus loadings at different operating cases and use them as a basis for equipment sizing. If only one operating case exists in the plant, the software generates the report without opening this dialog box.
Prior to generating your report, select an appropriate template that enables case
data. The following templates are available with the shipped reports:
-
Multi-Sheet Switchboard Summary.xlsm
-
All Feeder Load Summary.xlsm
Calculation method
The options in this section allow you to specify the coincidence factor to be used in the calculation of the total connected loads.
The options are available only if you have been given the appropriate access rights.
Use each load coincidence factor
Uses the coincidence factor of each individual load to calculate the total connected loads on the bus. When calculating the compensated load values, the software multiplies the raw uncompensated load kW and kVAR values by the load coincidence factors.
Use Bus PDB coincidence factor
Uses the coincidence factors of the PDB bus to calculate the total connected loads on the bus. When calculating the compensated load values, the software multiplies the raw uncompensated load kW and kVAR values by the coincidence factors as defined in the properties of the buses that these loads are connected to. Make sure that you specify these coincidence factors for each bus.
Calculate according to largest non-continuous load
Instructs the software to calculate the total normal running and peak loading according to the largest non-continuous load connected to the current bus including all the rolled-up loads that are connected to the downstream buses. See Calculate Bus Loading According to the Largest Non-Continuous Load.
Inclusion of coupled buses in All Feeder Load Summary Report
The options in this section allow you to specify inclusion options of coupled buses in the All Feeder Load Summary calculation.
The options are available only if you have been given the appropriate access rights.
Do not include coupled buses
Includes in the calculation only those loads that are connected to the current bus and does not include the loads that are connected on the redundant buses.
Include coupled buses connected by couplers only
Includes in the calculation the loads connected on the current bus as well as loads connected on all the redundant buses that are connected to the current bus by a coupler circuit.
Include coupled buses connected by couplers and risers
Includes in the calculation the loads of the current bus as well as the loads on all the redundant buses that are connected to the current bus by coupler and riser circuits.
(Check Box)
Account for converting equipment power losses
When running bus load calculations, allows you to instruct the software to calculate the total electrical consumption taking into account converting equipment power losses. The software adds these power losses to the upstream feeding bus and takes them into accounts as continuous loads. The same losses are also taken into account in the All Feeder Load Summary report.
The options are available only if you have been given the appropriate access rights.
