The Automatic Insertion of Switched Shunts Dialog is used to automatically draw switched shunts on the oneline diagram on existing bus-display objects. Only switched shunts that are already defined in the power flow case can be added automatically; if you need to define a brand new switched shunt, see Switched Shunt Display Objects. Thus, this option is useful only when you are starting with an existing power flow case, not building a case from scratch.
To insert switched shunts automatically, you must first have drawn the terminal bus for each device. Simulator then draws the switched shunt display objects connected to the buses for each switched shunt in the power flow case not already shown on the oneline.
To display the dialog, in the Edit Mode
The dialog has the following options:
Minimum kV Level
Simulator will automatically draw switched shunt display objects at terminal buses whose nominal voltages meet or exceed the minimum kV level specified in this field. For a switched shunt object to be drawn, its terminal must satisfy this criterion.
Default Drawing Values
This button opens the Default Drawing Values Dialog. Options such as the automatic insertion of text fields are specified in the Default Drawing Values Dialog.
Insert Text Fields
When this box is checked, the default fields associated with the switched shunt will appear around the switched shunt, such as nominal MVAR.
Use Only Selected Buses
Instead of having Simulator automatically insert switched shunt display objects throughout the oneline diagram, you can force it to insert the new objects only at the bus display objects that are currently selected. This option is enabled only when two or more bus display objects are currently selected on the oneline.
