Because of the flexible nature of PTW many alternative methods may be used to enter,
edit, and display system data. For simplicity this tutorial selects only one method for each
activity. Refer to the Reference Manual for more details on the engineering methodology,
Study setup criteria, and detailed discussion of Study data interpretation.
When completed, the power system designed in this tutorial will look like Fig. 1.

When you start a new Project, you should first set the application options to ensure that
you are working with the correct engineering standard and units of measurement.
1. If you have not already done so, start Windows.
2. Do one of the following:
x In Windows 3.1, double-click the PTW icon in the Power*Tools for Windows
group.
x In Windows 95, click the Start button and choose the PTW icon from the
Power*Tools for Windows menu.
3. This begins PTW.
4. From the Project menu, choose Options, as shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. From the Project menu, choose Options.
The PTW startup icon.
Be sure that the New
and Open commands
are active. If they are
disabled (that is,
grayed-out), that
means a Project is
already open. If this is
the case, choose the
Close command before
choosing the Options
command.
4
3/31/98
5. The Options dialog box appears, as shown in Fig. 3.
Fig. 3. The Options dialog box.
6. In the Option Groups box, select Startup for startup options. Select the Resume with
Last Workspace option button. Using this Startup option, PTW will automatically
open the last Project on which you worked when it starts up.
7. Next, we will define application options including ANSI or IEC format, English or
Metric Units, and error and warning beeps. In the Option Groups box, select
Application to switch to the Application options.
8. Choose the ANSI Engineering Standard option button and the English
Length/Distance Units option button, select the Error and Warning Enable Beep
check boxes, and click the OK button to continue. (To hasten data entry, you may
want to clear the Warning check box.)
9. You will notice that there are other groups in the Option Groups box. If you want to,
you can explore those groups, but for the purposes of our tutorial, the default settings
do not need to be changed. Click the OK button to accept the option changes and
close the Options dialog box.
Tip: Once you have set these options, PTW remembers them for you; you only need to
set them once, and every new Project you create will use these options. Alternatively, if
you begin a new Project and want to set different options, you can do so using the steps
listed above.

PTW provides two editing and building environments that work in concert to create
Projects: the Component Editor environment and the One-Line Diagram environment.
These two appear automatically when you begin a new Project.
1. To begin a new Project, choose New from the Project menu.
2. In the Name box, type tutorial, verify the Project path selection, and click the OK
button, as shown in Fig. 4. A file extension need not be typed. You will notice that
tutorial is placed in its own folder within the Project folder.
Fig. 4. Create the Tutorial Project.
3. A new One-Line Diagram and Component Editor dialog box appear when you create
the new Project. You can create a Project using either one, but for this tutorial we will
use (and we recommend that for most Projects you use) the One-Line Diagram
environment. The Component Editor will be used on page 16, Enter Component
Data.

1 The One-Line Diagrams name
appears in the title bar.
2 Build the One-Line Diagram within the
viewport.
3 Gray-colored page guides show where
the page breaks will fall when the One-
Line Diagram is printed.
4 Scroll over the One-Line Diagram
using the scrollbars.

4. Increase the One-Line Diagram size by positioning the mouse pointer on the edge of
the One-Line Diagram window, pressing the left mouse button, and dragging the
window to the edge of the screen. Repeat the process for the other three edges of the
window until the One-Line Diagram window covers nearly the entire screen, as shown
in Fig. 5. We discourage your using the maximize button to expand the One-Line
Diagram window as it will also maximize the Component Editor and Report windows
within the application; if this happens, it becomes difficult to navigate between the
various windows.
Fig. 5. Enlarge the One-Line Diagram window by dragging its borders, not using
the Maximize button.
5. For convenience, we can move the Component and Protective Device toolbars closer
to the One-Line Diagram viewport for easy access. First, move the Components
toolbar so it seems to float (dont worry, toolbars can always be returned to their
docked positions).
1) Point to a space around the toolbar. . . 2) click and drag its outline. . .
3) release the mouse button. . . 4) and click and drag to resize it.
If you accidentally
clicked a component
button while trying to
move the toolbar, dont
panic! Place the
component on the One-
Line Diagram, click the
mouse button to place
it, then choose Destroy
from the Component
menu to destroy the
component, and try
again.
7
SKM Power*Tools for Windows
Float the Protective Devices toolbar using the same procedure.
6. Now we can begin adding components to the Project. Place the mouse pointer over
the bus button on the Component mini-toolbar. If you cannot identify the bus button,
place the mouse pointer over a button and pause. Notice that the buttons function
appears in a popup box called a fast tip. (This method works for all toolbar
buttons.)
7. Click the left mouse button while pointing at the bus toolbar button. The mouse
pointer picks up a new bus component. Move the mouse pointer over the white
viewport area of the One-Line Diagram and click the left mouse button again. The
mouse pointer puts down, or places, the bus component. A bus name is automatically
assigned (changing names is easy, as we will demonstrate shortly).

Note: When adding components to a One-Line Diagram, the mouse button uses push-
pin behavior, not drag-and-drop behavior. Push-pin behavior allows your first click to
pick up the component and your second click to place the component, while drag-and-
drop behavior would require that you hold the mouse button down until placing the
component. This special behavior makes component placement easier.
8. Add three more bus symbols using the same process. Separate the bus symbols by a
reasonable distance to leave room for components in between, as shown in Fig. 6. To
place multiple components, hold the SHIFT key while placing the first component and
you can continue adding that component until you release the SHIFT key.
Fig. 6. Add the remaining buses.
9. Now click the Relay button on the protective devices toolbar to create the relay
component that will be connected to BUS-0001.
10. You can connect the relay component (or any other component) as you add it to the
One-Line Diagram by placing one of its connection nodes directly onto the connected
bus and then clicking the mouse button. The connection node is the small circle at the
end of the symbol.
Pause over a button for a fast tip.
Just because a
component has been
placed, its placement
is not permanent. At
any time, you can
move a component by
clicking and dragging
the component
anywhere in the One-
Line Diagram
viewport.
8
3/31/98
Align the component node. . . and click the button.
11. Click the High-Voltage Breaker button (abbreviated HV Breaker in the fast tip) on
the toolbar and connect its top node to the bottom node of the relay component, as
shown in Fig. 7.
Fig. 7. Connect the top node of breaker PD-0002 to the bottom node of relay PD-
0001.
12. Click the Two-Winding Transformer button on the toolbar and connect the top node
of the transformer to the bottom node of high-voltage breaker PD-0002, as shown in
Fig. 8.
Fig. 8. Connect the top node of transformer XF2-0001 to the bottom node of PD-
0002.
If you clicked the
button too early, and
the component is
floating unattached,
just move its node atop
the bus and click
again.
9
SKM Power*Tools for Windows
13. Now connect the transformer XF2-0001 to BUS-0002 by dragging its bottom
connection node. To use this method, be sure that the pointer becomes the open-circuit
indicator, meaning that the nodes are available for connection. Using this method,
connect the transformer XF2-0001 to BUS-0002. Notice that as you drag the
connection node, a dotted connection line follows the mouse pointer.
After you establish the connection, the dotted line is replaced by a solid line.

Note: PTW will not allow you to place two impedance devices in series without an
interconnecting bus. The correct topology always places a single impedance component
(transformer, cable, transmission line) between two buses. Protective devices are not
considered impedance components. Parallel branches may be modeled; to accomplish
this, use three buses and a small tie impedance. You might find the pi equivalent
component works well as a tie element.
14. Lets rename the protective devices so their names are more descriptive. Select relay
PD-0001 by clicking on the component name (it will become blue to show it is
selected). Choose Rename from the Component menu. In the New Name box, type
R T1. This will identify this as a relay protecting transformer 1 (T1).
15. This time, double-click on high-voltage breaker PD-0002s name. The Rename dialog
appears. Rename the breaker CB T1 (for circuit breaker protecting transformer one).
At the end of the tutorial we will rename the rest of the components using these
methods.
16. PTW allows you to insert protective device components into already-existing
connections. This is particularly useful when you want to add protective devices to an
existing system. Add a transformer and connect it between BUS-0002 and BUS-0003,
as shown in Fig. 9. We will insert protective devices into this connection.
Fig. 9. Add transformer XF2-0002 between BUS-0002 and BUS-0003.

If at any time the One-
Line Diagram reaches
the border of the
viewport and you need
more space, hit the
Zoom Out button once
or twice. You can also
move components down
to make space; this
wont affect their
connections at all.
When you drag a
connected component,
its connection line
lengthens.
10
3/31/98
17. To make room for the protective devices, drag transformer XF2-0002 lower on its
connection line, as shown in Fig. 10.
Fig. 10. Drag transformer XF2-0001 lower on its connection line.
18. Now click the Relay button on the toolbar. To insert the component between
transformer XF2-0002 and BUS-0002, place the component directly over the
connection line, as shown in Fig. 11, and click the mouse button to insert it.
Fig. 11. Insert relay PD-0003 into the transformer XF2-0002 connection line.
Important: Be sure not to place the relays top connection node on top of BUS-0002 or
PTW will interpret relay PD-0003 as a separate connection at the bus. You can tell if you
connected it correctly by looking at its nodes. The properly-connected component
appears closed at both nodes, while the improperly-connected component maintains an
open node at the bottom.

Properly-connected node. Improperly-connected node.
19. Add a high-voltage breaker between relay PD-0003 and transformer XF2-0002, as
shown in Fig. 12.
Fig. 12. Add a high-voltage breaker between relay PD-0003 and transformer XF2-
0002.
If you connected
relay PD-0003
wrong, click once on
it to select it (it will
appear in blue), then
choose the
Disconnect
command from the
Component menu.
Both its nodes will
now be
unconnected, and
you can move the
component and try
again.
12
3/31/98
20. Now add and connect a cable between BUS-0003 and BUS-0004, as shown in Fig. 13.
Fig. 13. Add and connect a cable between BUS-0003 and BUS-0004.
21. To provide space on the buses to connect more components, we need to extend the left
and right edges of the buses. Begin with BUS-0001 by pointing to the right end of the
bus. When positioned at the end, the pointer becomes the Bus Sizing pointer. Press
the left mouse and drag the end of the bus to the right. When the bus is extended to
the desired size, release the left mouse button.
Bus Sizing pointer
Sometimes the bus
sizing pointer does not
appear. If so, there
may be other objects,
such as component
names, in the way.
Move the objects
temporarily out of the
way, extend the bus,
and move them back.
13
SKM Power*Tools for Windows
Repeat the process for all of the buses until the One-Line Diagram resembles the one
shown in Fig. 14.
Fig. 14. Extend all of the bus symbols to accommodate more components.
22. Now we are ready to add the remaining components to the system. On the toolbar,
click the New Utility button. Attach the utility symbol connection node to BUS-0001,
as shown in Fig. 15.
Fig. 15. Connect utility UTIL-0001 to BUS-0001.
If your one-line diagram
resides too near the top of the
viewport, and you cant insert
the utility component, follow
these steps to move the entire
diagram down. First, place
the utility component
somewhere close by. Next,
choose Select All from the Edit
menu. Point to any
component, click, and drag the
selected set down (notice the
whole one-line diagram
moves). You can now pick up
the utility component and
place it.
14
3/31/98
23. Click the relay button on the toolbar. Attach the top node of relay component PD-
0005 to BUS-0002. Now click the Synchronous Motor button on the toolbar. Attach
the synchronous motor connection node to the bottom node of relay PD-0005, as
shown in Fig. 16.
Fig. 16. Connect synchronous motor MTRS-0001 to relay PD-0005.
24. This time, we will add a low-voltage breaker with drawouts. Click the Low-Voltage
Breaker/Drawout-type button on the toolbar. (Drawout-type breakers have arrows at
either end). Attach the top node of low-voltage breaker PD-0006 to BUS-0003. Now
click the Induction Motor button on the toolbar. Attach the induction motor
connection node to low-voltage breaker PD-0006, as shown in Fig. 17.
Fig. 17. Attach induction motor MTRI-0001 to breaker PD-0006.
15

25. Add and connect a non-motor load to BUS-0004, as shown in Fig. 18.
Fig. 18. Add and connect non-motor load LOAD-0001 to BUS-0004.
26. Add and connect a schedule to BUS-0004, as shown in Fig. 19.

Fig. 19. Add and connect schedule SCH-0001 to BUS-0004.
27. At this time, lets save the One-Line Diagram. Click the Save button on the toolbar,
then choose a name for the One-Line Diagram. For this tutorial, use the default name
draw1.drw.
28. Using Fig. 1 as a guide, rename the other components (we will add the remaining
components shortly).
We have now generated a basic system topology consisting of cables, transformers,
power sources, and load components. The topology models a radially-fed system.
(Looped configurations, breaker-and-a-half double-ended substations, and other
configurations may also be represented and modeled in PTW.)

In the last section we demonstrated an approach for building the One-Line Diagram. The
next step is to assign specific data to each of the components. To do this, we need to use
the Component Editor. The Component Editor can be opened from a One-Line Diagram
in three ways: 1) showing one components data; 2) showing a group of components data;
and 3) showing data for all the components in the Project. (On page 33, Create and Run a
Query we will show how you can specify what components to display in the Component
Editor).

1. First we will open the Component Editor showing one components data. Select bus
B1 by clicking on it (it will become blue) and choose the Go to Component Editor
button (double-clicking on a component performs the same action). The Component
Editor opens for BUS-0001.

4 The subview display area shows the
active subview.
This opens the Component Editor for bus B1. Type 13800 in the Nominal System Voltage
box, as shown in Fig. 20. Do not enter the voltage in kV unless specified. Notice that the
Component Set option button is set to One-Line Diagram because this set of components
came from a One-Line Diagram.

Thus far we have selected components individually. To select a group of components,
you can draw a box around them and take them to the Component Editor.
1. Draw a box around the two protective devices R T1 and CB T1 while holding the
mouse button down, as shown in Fig. 21, and release the mouse button. The two
components become selected. Click the Go to Component Editor button.

With the Component Editor still open, we will view all the components in the Project.
1. To display all the components in the Project, select the All option button on the left
side of the Component Editor. Now you can select any of the Components in the
Project without having to return to the One-Line Diagram.
2. Select bus B3 in the Components list box and type 480 in the Nominal System
Voltage box.
3. Select bus B4 in the Components list box. Note that it has automatically taken its
voltage from the upstream bus.
Tip: PTW automatically sorts bus voltages across the system topology and inserts these
voltages onto components such as non-motor loads and transformers. If you first
establish the bus voltages, PTW will do the rest for you.
Select transformer T1 in the Components list box, as shown in Fig. 22.
Fig. 22. View data for transformer T1.
4. In the Transformer Key box, select OA to specify an oil-air type transformer. In the
Nominal kVA list box, select 5000. In the primary tap % box, type -2.50. In the
Phase Shift Degrees box, type 30. Note that the transformer defaults to Delta primary
and Wye-Grounded secondary connections, which are appropriate for this Project.
5. Select transformer T2 in the Components list box. In the Transformer Key box, select
OA, and in the Nominal kVA box, select 1500. In the primary tap % box, type -2.50.
In the Phase Shift Degrees box, type 30. As with transformer T1, maintain the default
connections.

In the Components box, select Utility NETWORK FDR, as shown in Fig. 23.
Fig. 23. View data for utility NETWORK FDR.
6. In the Three Phase Contribution box, type 75, select the units as MVA, and in the
Line to Ground Contribution box, type 15. The default X/R, per unit voltage, and
voltage angle values are acceptable for this tutorial Project.

Note: The single-line-to-ground current should be entered, not the equivalent three-
phase SLG value. Also, note that the SLG X/R ratio is not the ratio of the zero-sequence
X/R.
In the Components box, select synchronous motor M1, as shown in Fig. 24.
Fig. 24. View data for synchronous motor M1.
7. Type 2000 in the Rated Size box. Notice the rated voltage defaults to the bus voltage.
The number of motors amount, the hp units, 0.80 lagging power factor, and 1.0
efficiency default values are acceptable for this Project.

The Component Editor categorizes component data according to functionality, and several
component types require more than one page of data to model thoroughly. Each of these
pages is called a subview. Subviews are stacked atop one another just like pages in a
bookjust as you turn to a specific page in a book, you turn to a subview be selecting it.
1. For synchronous motor M1, we need to go to another subview to assign motor
diversity and load association groups. To do this, select Motor Diversity in the
Component Subviews box, as shown in Fig. 25.
Fig. 25. Switch to the Motor Diversity subview for motor M1.
2. Under Load Association, type Process A in the Group box. (The two Load
Association boxes assign categorical names to the load; while not used in calculations,
the group designations allow easy categorization of loads, which can be retrieved
using a query.) We will leave the motor load factor at 1.0, although in actual use this
factor provides a simple way to model the motors true load value.
3. Now select the ANSI Contribution subview, as shown in Fig. 26.
Fig. 26. Select the ANSI Contribution subview for motor M1.
4. This subview displays default sub-transient reactance and X/R values. The kVA Base
and Voltage Base values are initially set to the bus rated voltage and the motor rated

size expressed in kVA. Any of these values can be changed; however, the default
values are acceptable for this tutorial.
5. In the Components box, select cable C1, as shown in Fig. 27.
Fig. 27. View data for cable C1.
6. In the Cable Key box, select Cu Non-Magnetic THWN 600. In the Cable Size box
select 1/0, in the Length box, type 100, and in the Number of Conductors in Parallel
box type 2.
7. In the Components box, select induction motor M2, as shown in Fig. 28.
Fig. 28. View data for induction motor M2.
8. In the Rated Size box, type 500. The default power factor efficiency and pole pairs
are acceptable for this tutorial. (The pole pairs value of 2 represents a motor speed of
1800 rpm at 60 Hz and a 1500 rpm motor at 50 Hz.)
9. In the Component Subviews box, select Motor Diversity and verify that the Motor
Diversity Load Factor is 1.00. Under Load Association, type Process B in the Group
box.
22
3/31/98
10. In the Component Subviews box, select ANSI Contribution and verify that the values
match those shown in Fig. 29.
Fig. 29. Review the ANSI Contribution subview for induction motor M2.

Note: Since the motor was entered as 500 hp in mechanical power output and the power
factor and efficiency defaulted to 0.80, then the machine rated electrical apparent power
is calculated as 582.8 kVA. For this tutorial, leave the value at the calculated kVA base
value; however, in practice you may wish to unlink the kVA Base from the Rated Size
and change this to 500 kVA in keeping with the axiom that 1 hp equals 1 kVA for an
induction motor.
11. In the Components box, select non-motor load L1, and in the Rated Size box, type
200. The PTW default power factor is 0.80 lagging. The rated voltage of the load
defaults to the bus nominal system voltage.

The next few steps demonstrate the procedure for adding branch circuit loads to a panel
schedule. If you are not interested in learning how to add loads to a schedule at this time,
proceed directly to page 25, Clone Components and System Segments.
1. In the Components box, select Schedule LS-1. Define the Panels physical location as
1st Fl NW Corner. Select OC Device Type as Breaker, Mounting as Flush, Device
Family as Plug In, and Enclosure as NEMA 1. (These boxes are fully editable; you
can type your own descriptions instead of using those provided). In the Current
Rating box, type Continuous as 100 and Withstand as 10000. In the Schedule
Specifications box select 4 Wire and in the Schedule Category select Panel.
2. Now select the Panel subview.
23
SKM Power*Tools for Windows
3. In the Circuit, Phase, and Descriptions box, select circuit 01 A, as shown in Fig. 30.
Fig. 30. Select circuit 1, phase A.
4. To assign a one-pole load to the selected circuit, choose the 1 Pole button in the Panel
Load box. The Schedule Load dialog box appears for assigning data to the one-pole
load, as shown in Fig. 31.
Fig. 31. The Schedule Load dialog box used to assign data to one-pole loads.
5. In the Description box, type Rooms 104-106 and in the Rated Size box, type 200 and
set the units to VA. In the Quantity box, type 15. In the Power Factor text box, type
0.9, and in Power Factor list box, select Lag. In the Demand Category box, select
LIGHTING. In the Notes box, type Not on EMCS. Finally, under Overcurrent
Protection, type 20 in the Size box, and click the OK button to save and return to the
Component Editor. The load will now be assigned to circuit 01 A.
6. With Circuit 01A selected, choose the Copy button to the right of the Circuit, Phase,
and Description box. Next, select circuit 02 A and choose the Paste button. This
assigns an exact replica of the load to circuit 02A.
7. With circuit 02A selected, choose the Modify button to the right of the Circuit, Phase,
and Description box. This opens the Schedule Load dialog box. Notice its data

The next steps demonstrate how to clone a group of components so that the duplicates
have the same data as the originals.
1. To select the system segment beginning with relay R T2 and ending with induction
motor M2, hold down the SHIFT key as you click on each of the three components.
You can also select the components by One-Line Diagram a selection box around
them, as shown in Fig. 33.
Fig. 33. Select a component segment for cloning.
2. From the Component menu, choose the Clone command.
A duplicate of the three selected items appears on the One-Line Diagram slightly
beneath and to the right of the original set of selected objects. Notice in Fig. 34 that
PTW assigns new component names to the cloned components. Since these new
objects have duplicate data but distinct names, clone more precisely describes their
nature than copy.
Fig. 34. The cloned components appear on the One-Line Diagram below and to
the right of the original set of components.
If you want to draw a
box to select the
components, but find
that unwanted
components are too
close and become
selected, you can
move them farther
away without affecting
the connections at all.
You can also remove
unwanted components
from the selected
group by clicking them
while holding down the
SHIFT key.

3. Position the cursor over one of the new components, such as transformer XF2-0003,
so that the mouse pointer becomes the moving pointer, as shown in Fig. 35.
Fig. 35. Position the mouse pointer somewhere over the cloned segment to
move it.
4. Move the new components by pressing the mouse button and dragging the items so
that the One-Line Diagram looks similar to the one shown in Fig. 36.
Fig. 36. Move the cloned components to a new location on the One-Line
Diagram.
5. Connect relay PD-0007 to bus B2. The cloned components are now connected to the
system. Rename PD-0007 to R T3, PD-0008 to CB T3, XF2-0003 to T3, BUS-0005
to B5, PD-0009 to CB M3, and MTRI-0003 to M3.
6. Drag the cloned induction motor M3 down to make its connection longer.
7. Using the procedure discussed on page 9, insert a motor overload between the cloned
components induction motor M3 and low-voltage breaker CB M3 and rename it
MOL, as shown in Fig. 37.

Fig. 37. Insert a motor overload.
All of the component data in the cloned components are identical to the data in the
originals. To verify this, open the Component Editor (try clicking the Component Editor
button on the toolbarthis is a shortcut to open it quickly).
8. Choose transformer T3 in the Components list box.
Because transformer T3 is a clone of transformer T2, the type and size is indeed
identical. No changes need to be made to this component.
9. Now select induction motor M3 in the Components list box. Select the Induction
Motor subview in the Component Subviews box. Because induction motor M3 is a
clone of induction motor M2 the component data is the same. We want this
component to identify three 500 hp motors instead of one, so type 3 in the Number of
Motors box.
10. In the Component Subviews box, select Motor Diversity. Under Load Association,
type Process C in the Group box.
11. In the Component Subviews box, select the ANSI Contribution Subview. Verify that
M3s data (transferred by the cloning process) matches that of M2 by switching back
and forth between them.
The system input is now complete, and we can begin to run Studies on the system.

component set should be empty. However, if there are errors, the affected components
will be displayed. Review the data and make necessary corrections. When you have
corrected the errors, rerun the Study. If necessary, repeat the process until all errors
have been resolved.
Although this tutorial focused on the Comprehensive Short Circuit Study and Load Flow
Study, all the Study modules may be run. You may decide that transformer taps must be
adjusted in order to meet acceptable voltage drop limits at the branch circuits.

Note: Oftentimes a single error message will generate numerous error messages. This is
because PTW runs through the entire Study. If you opt not to fix the error, you should at
least be aware of what the error is.

For large power systems, you can use queries to select groups of related components. A
query is a question you ask of all of the components in the Project or the document in order
to retrieve only those components that satisfy the questions conditions. For instance, you
could write a query that retrieves all induction motors over 500 hp. The results of a query
may be viewed either on the One-Line Diagram or in the Component Editor.
Queries can be run from both One-Line Diagrams and the Component Editor (and, if
applicable, the TCC Drawing). First we will run a Query from the One-Line Diagram.
1. Make the One-Line Diagram the active window. Next, click the Query button on the
toolbar. The Query dialog box appears, as shown in Fig. 44.

5. Add induction motor M2 using the same method. Its data will appear in the tab pages.
Note that both devices now reside in the TCC Device List box and in the coordination
viewport.
39
SKM Power*Tools for Windows
Now we will add the protective devices in order to coordinate them to protect the
motor and transformer from damage from overloads and short circuits.
6. Instead of using the Existing command, we will select relay R T2 from the One-Line
Diagram and add it to the TCC Coordination Drawing. Make the One-Line Diagram
the active window by choosing DRAW1.DRW from the Window menu.
7. Select relay R T2 using one of the two selection methods described on page 16, Enter
Component Data.
8. Choose the Go to TCC button on the toolbar. This opens the TCC dialog box. Select
Mtr and Xfmr Coordination from the list box and choose the Open button.
The TCC Drawing appears with relay R T2 added to the TCC Device List. The relay
will not appear on the TCC Coordination Drawing because we have not yet selected a
relay manufacturer or its associated settings. Make relay R T2 the active component
by selecting it from the TCC Device List, as shown in Fig. 52.
Fig. 52. Make the relay the active component.
9. Now we can apply manufacturer data to the relay. The coordination strategy is to
place the relays time overcurrent curve to the left and below the transformer damage
curve. The relays instantaneous segment must be placed to the right of the
transformers inrush current, to allow the transformer to be energized.
10. Choose the Library button on the bottom of the tab page. The Select a Device dialog
box will appear.
Remember that you select
components on a One-Line

12. Select the ABB, 51E 50/51 EXTM INV relay by selecting the name and choosing the
Apply button (you may also double-click on the name to select it). Choose the Close
button to close the Select a Device dialog box.
13. Select the Setting tab page by clicking on its tab. The relay contains default settings
from the Library. Since the full load current of a 2000 kVA transformer is 277.6 A at
4.16 kV, the maximum permissible protective device rating should not exceed 695 A.
The next standard size current transformer has a 1000 A to 5 A current ratio.
Therefore, type 1000 in the Primary Current box. Note that the Secondary Current is
5 A.
14. Segments can be adjusted one of two ways: 1) changing data in the tab pages, or 2)
moving segments in the coordination viewport. First we will use method one: change
the LTPU setting by choosing 3.000 from the Setting 1 box, and choose the Redraw
button to see the effect of the new setting. The relay will pick up at 600 A, which is
below the maximum allowable primary current of 695 A.
15. We will use the second method to adjust the next devices segment settings. Adjust
the Time Dial setting by placing the mouse pointer over the Inverse Time segment in
the coordination viewport. Notice that the pointer changes to the movement pointer
when over the Inverse Time segment. This indicates that you can now move the
segment up or down. Press the left mouse button and drag the segment until it lies
below and to the left of the transformer damage curve. (The limit pointer will indicate
if you have dragged to limit of the curves valid setting range.) A Time Dial value of
5 should be acceptable. Once you release the mouse button, the Time Dial setting will
change to reflect the segments position.
To add an instantaneous segment, select INST (High) from the list in Segment #3
(currently blank), as shown in Fig. 53.
Fig. 53. Select a new segment type.
16. Use one of the two methods to move the instantaneous segment until it equals
approximately 20. The instantaneous setting needs to be positioned to the right of the
transformer inrush current marker.
17. Next we need to select a static trip device to model the breaker CB M2. Add breaker
CB M2 using either the Existing command or by selecting it on the One-Line Diagram
and then going to the TCC Drawing.
18. Choose the Library button on the bottom of the tab page. Using the method described
earlier, expand the Low-Voltage Breaker category in the Select a Device dialog box,
and expand the Static Trip sub-category.
19. Choose the SQUARE D, ME/MEC LSI, 100-800A breaker and choose the Apply
button followed by the Close button.

20. Choose the Setting tab page. First we must determine an appropriate frame for the
protective device. The motor full load current is 601 A. Therefore, an 800 A Frame
protective device rated at 480 V should be acceptable. To select this Frame, choose
800 480V 800A (50, 0, 0) kA from the Frame list box.
21. Select 800.0 from the Sensor list box.
22. Each of the remaining segments of the static trip device is selected either by typing a
setting value or using the mouse to drag the appropriate segments to achieve
acceptable coordination. The circuit breaker segments need to lay to the left and
below the relay segments, and above and to the right of the motor starting curve in
order to achieve coordination.
23. Since the solution to the coordination problem differs vastly depending on the
application, this tutorial cannot provide a definitive solution. However, Fig. 54 shows
one way to adjust the settings for the breaker. Fig. 55 shows the results of those
settings.
Fig. 54. Sample breaker settings.
43
SKM Power*Tools for Windows
Fig. 55. Sample coordination.
Tip: If you need to add new protective devices while in the TCC Drawing, you can do
so just like on a One-Line Diagram. Either choose New from the Component menu and
select a component type, or click the appropriate button on the toolbar.
At this point we have achieved a basic coordination between the protective devices and the
transformer and motor. The following steps will refine the coordination Study.
First we will run a Short Circuit Study to limit the instantaneous portion of the LVB-IM1
to the maximum available Short Circuit current. This will ensure that breaker LVB-IM1s
instantaneous segment does not overlap the instantaneous segment of relay R-X2-2.
1. From the Settings menu, choose TCC Fault Current. The Options dialog box appears.
2. Select the Study Result option button.
3. Use the Initial Symm rms 3P Study Result Type.
4. Choose the OK Button.
5. Run the Short Circuit Study using the Comprehensive option. This procedure is
discussed on page 28, Run DAPPER, A_FAULT, and IEC_FAULT Studies.
Once the Study is run, PTW will update the Short Circuit current at each bus and cut off
the instantaneous segment at the initial symmetrical calculated short circuit current.
Next we will set the transformer full load current flag so that it extends slightly below the
relay pickup current flag.
1. Make transformer XF2-0002 the active component by selecting from the TCC Device
list.
44
3/31/98
2. From the Settings menu, choose the Flags command. The Device Flags dialog box
will appear.
3. To change the LTPU/FLA Marker plot time, type 50 in the %Max Plot Time box.
4. Click the OK button.

Note: The full load amperes flag for the transformer reads 278 A. However, placing the
mouse pointer over the flag reveals a measured value of 2410 A (displayed in the Status
Bar). Despite the apparent discrepancy, this Status Bar value is correct, since the TCC
Drawing is plotted at 480 V and the full load amperes flag is always reported on the
primary voltage of the transformer.
Next we will redraw the TCC Drawing in order to position the curves one decade to the
left on the TCC Drawing. This might be done, for example, if additional protective
devices need to be added to the Drawing.
1. From the Settings menu, choose the TCC Layout command. The TCC Layout dialog
box will appear.
2. In the Current Scale X 10^ box, type 2. This multiplies the current scale by 100, and
effectively redraws the TCC Drawing one decade to the left.
3. Click the OK button.
The TCC Drawing will be redrawn moving all the protective devices to the left one
decade. Fig. 56 shows the TCC Drawing with these adjustments implemented.
To position the labels and their leaders, you may drag them on the TCC Drawing to a
different location. To change the color and pattern of any of the curves, from the Settings
menu, choose Color or Pattern, respectively, and choose a new option.

You may create as many Datablock Reports as you like. Also, you may create them for
any components you want (and you do not have to select them by drawing a box around
them; you may run a Query to select components and then create a Datablock Report for

locations on the page where the TCC Drawing and the One-Line will be inserted,
along with the pre-formatted Title Block.

Note: Even if your printer does not support this Form, or if you do not have a printer,
you can still follow these steps to learn the procedure. You can test whether your printer
supports this Form by checking the box next to Show Printer Page Size Forms Only.
This reduces the list to only those Forms your printer will support. To return to the entire
list, uncheck the box.
4. Select TCC Area, as shown. Note that the Select Data button now becomes active
and that the large rectangular area on the thumbnail representation of the page
becomes blue. This tells you that whatever TCC Drawing you select will be inserted
into the large highlighted area.
5. Click the Select Data button. The TCC box appears. Select the MTR AND XFMR
COORDINATION drawing and click Open.
6. Note that the MTR AND XFMR COORDINATION document now appears within the
parentheses next to TCC Area. This tells you that the TCC Drawing you chose will be
inserted into that particular area.
7. Now select One Line, as shown. Once again, the Select Data button becomes active,
but this time the small large rectangular area on the thumbnail representation of the
page becomes blue. This tells you that whatever One-Line you select will be inserted
into the small highlighted area.

This portion of the tutorial uses the TMS Study module to analyze the starting of a motor
and its effect on a bus. In this example we will start induction motor M2 at 0 seconds and
plot the results. These results include its speed, voltage, stator current, torque, and load
torque. We will also plot the effects of this motors starting on the voltage at bus B2.

Up to this point in the tutorial, we have only analyzed the static portion of our electrical
system. With the TMS Study, we will analyze the dynamic portion of the system. Before
we can begin analyzing the dynamic portion, however, we need to supply PTW with
additional information about the induction motors, such as their starting characteristics and
the loads that they will drive.
To supply this information we will use the Transient Motor Starting subview of the
Component Editor.
1. With the One-Line Diagram displayed, open the Component Editor for induction
motor M2 either by double-clicking on induction motor M2, or by clicking it once and
choosing the Go to Component Editor button. The Component Editor opens for
induction motor M2. Switch to the Transient Motor Starting subview, as shown in
Fig. 58.

2. Click the Library button near the top of the subview. The Select a Device dialog box
will appear (this opens the TMS Library in read-only form, which allows us to peer
into it and retrieve data from it without accidentally editing the data.):
53
SKM Power*Tools for Windows
The categories are expandable. Once you expand a category, its models are then
displayed.
1) Click on the expand box. . . 2) and the category expands (do this for both the
motor model category and the load model categories).
3) Now click on the Graphic Motor sub-category
name. . .
4) and a list of models appears.
3. Highlight the NEMA LG>500 HP motor model and click the Apply button.
4. Next, highlight the Exponential Load Model category, as shown in Fig. 59. Note that
the list of Load Models appears to the right.
The Motor Model and Load Model categories contain the Library models which
you will apply to the induction motor.

5. Highlight the Pump 400HP 1800RPM and click the Apply button, followed by the
Close button.
6. The Component Editor will now display the motor and load models that we applied to
this motor, as shown in Fig. 60.
Fig. 60. The Motor and Load Model names can be seen in the boxes.
7. We will leave the other boxes with their default entries (as shown in Fig. 61), but keep
in mind that these data fields provide great flexibility and control over the motors
starting characteristics, should you ever need to use them.

11. The next step is to choose the channels that we want TMS to generate data for.
(Channel is just a fancy name for the curves storage space. In technical terms, the
channel is the place in your computers memory where TMS stores all the graph
points that make up the curve; however, you only need to understand that one channel
equals one motor starting curve.) For this tutorial we will select all the channels. To
select the channels, place checks in all the grey squares to the right of M2, as shown in
Fig. 72.
Fig. 72. Place checks for all the channels.
12. Now we can run the Starting Simulation which will generate the channels that we
selected. To do so, click the Run button in the lower-left corner of the TMS Study
Manager. The TMS Study dialog box will appear, as shown in Fig. 73.
