Base Package - Electrical One-Line Diagram

The ETAP One-Line Diagram is a user-friendly interface for creating and managing the
network database used for schematic network visualization. You can interactively model,
monitor, and manage the electrical network as well as execute simulation scenarios and
analyze their results in a simple and intuitive manner. This can be accomplished by using
features such as the intelligent one-line diagram, multi-level nesting of sub-systems, multicolor symbols, interfaces for management of switching devices, and a unique
multidimensional database.

An extensive list of new features has been added to the intelligent one-line diagram
propelling day-to-day system modeling and design tasks to a new level of speed, ease, and
accuracy more than ever before.

The single-line diagram is the blueprint for electrical system analysis. It is the first step in
preparing a critical response plan, allowing you to become thoroughly familiar with the
electrical distribution system layout and design in your facility. A typical diagram will include:

Incoming lines showing voltage and size

Incoming main fuses, cutouts, switches, and main/tie breakers

Power transformers (rating, winding connection and grounding means)

Feeder breakers and fused switches

Relays (function, use and type)

Current and / or potential transformers with size, type and ratio

Control transformers

All main cable and wire runs with their associated isolating switches (size and length of
run)

All substations, including integral relays and main panels with total load of each feeder
and each substation

Critical equipment voltage and size (UPS, battery, generator, power distribution,
transfer switch, computer room air conditioning)

Whether your plant is new or existing, the single-line diagram becomes your life line of
information when updating or responding to an emergency. An accurate diagram ensures
optimum system performance and coordination for all future testing and can highlight
potential risks before a problem occurs.
