Single-line diagram
Single-line diagram
The single-line diagram is drawn from the design inputs: bus scheme, bays, transformers, instrument transformers and MV bus sections. The design sets their ratings.

Capabilities
Diagram content and output
The diagram sets the circuit arrangement that the yard layout, the 3D model and the bill of materials follow. Its objects are linked to those surfaces.
Circuits
- Bus schemes per standards set, below
- Line bays, transformer bays, bus coupler, bus reactor and future bays
- MV indoor switchgear or outdoor AIS, with bus sections
- Reactive power device and harmonic filters on the MV bus
Drawing
- Designations per standards set, below
- Instrument transformer ratios
- Title block and revision table
- Output in DXF and PDF
- Selection linked to the yard layout, the 3D model and the BOM
