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.

  • 3PH: 3 phase
