Connection Information
Option | Description |
---|---|
ID Name |
Uniquely identifies the equipment item. The program automatically assigns a name, but you can change it, if needed. The name can be up to 16 characters long. For fused switches, the program automatically assigns the names FS-1, FS-2, FS-3, and so on. |
Open |
Normal state of the fused switch. If selected, the one-line displays “OPEN” next to the fused switch symbol. |
Closed | If selected, the one-line does not display “OPEN” next to the fused switch symbol. |
On Bus | The bus connected to the fuse switch, which must already exist on the one-line. |
Base kV |
The kV of the bus to which the fuse switch is connected. The options available in the Specifications tab and Short Circuit tab depend on the bus voltage. Either LV or HV fused switches can be selected from this dialog box. Although the EasyPower Device Library has HV and LV Fused Switches as separate devices, the same dialog box is used to select both types. |
Connection Type | Whether the fused switch is connected as a “Feeder,” (to a cable, busway, or transformer, for example.) or as a “Tie” (between two buses). |
Phase |
The phase of the item. Currently, this is for reference only. |
Group Name/Type | If the fused switch is part of a functional group, the group name and type appears here. See Functional Groups. |
Lock Auto-Sizing |
When this check box is selected, this item cannot be automatically sized using SmartDesign™ (the auto-design feature). |
Lock Auto-Coordination |
When this check box selected, this item cannot be automatically sized using SmartPDC™ (the auto-coordination feature). |
