Terminology

Power Systems Model

A software representation of a one-line diagram, in which all components in

the electrical system – circuit breakers, transformers, capacitors, bus bars,

and conductors, as well as large equipment like generators, motors, and

UPS’s – are depicted as mathematical representations. By running

simulations of the model to test for specific problems, e.g. short circuit

analysis, engineers are able to isolate potential issues in the system, until all

have been effectively removed.

Single Line Diagram (SLD)An electrical schematic in which all electrical elements such as circuit

breakers, transformers, capacitors, bus bars, conductors, etc. are shown by

standardized schematic symbols. Instead of representing each of three

phases with a separate line, only one conductor is represented to depict all

three phases. Also called a “one-line” for short.

Load Flow

© 2013 ETAP

Terminology

Load Flow (or Power Flow)A Load Flow study simulates flow of power in an

electrical power distribution system during the

design stage. This enables designers to

thoroughly understand the behavior of the

finished design, and provides the opportunity to

optimize loading, eliminate voltage irregularities,

and avoid nuisance events.

Load Flow Studies are crucial in helping facility

managers understand precisely how their power

system will react in situations of high demand or

emergency situations.

• Ensure that voltage drop will not disrupt other loads

• Utility bus voltage >95%

• 3% Sag represents a point when light flicker becomes visible

• 5% Sag represents a point when light flicker becomes irritating

If the Auto Display

feature is active, the

Alert View Window will

appear as soon as the

Load Flow calculation

has finished.

Terminology

Short Circuit AnalysisA short circuit (sometimes abbreviated to “a

short” or s/c) in an electrical circuit allows a

current along a different path from the one

intended, established by accident between two

points in an electric circuit.

The current tends to flow through the area of

the least resistance, bypassing the intended

circuit.

It is common to misuse “short circuit” to

describe any electrical malfunction, regardless of

the actual problem.
