Figure 1: Fused Switch Data Dialog Box
| 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). |
| 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). |

| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Mfr | Provides a list of manufacturers available in the device library. If the desired manufacturer is not listed in the device library, you can add it to the library. |
| Type | Equipment types available from the selected manufacturer. If the desired type is not listed, you can add it to the library. |
| Style | Equipment models available from the selected equipment type. If the desired model is not listed, you can add it to the library. |
| Cont. Current (A) | Continuous current rating of the switch. |
|
Momentary / C&L (kA) Peak Withstand (kA) |
The momentary or close and latch rating of the switch (ANSI). The peak withstand for the switch (IEC). |
| Calculate | Fills in device ratings based on library entries for the specified switch. |
