Line Field Options Dialog

Concept Link IconSee Also

 

Line field display objects are used to show different values associated with transmission lines and transformers on onelines.

This dialog can be opened by right-clicking on a line display field and choosing to open the Line Field Information Dialog while in run mode. If in edit mode this dialog will be opened simply by right-clicking on a line display field.

This dialog is used to view and modify the parameters associated with these fields.

 

Find…

If you do not know the exact line identifiers you are looking for, you can click this button to open the advanced search engine.

Near Bus Number

Bus associated with the near end of the object. All fields specifically listed in the Type of Field, i.e. NOT the fields in Select a Field, display values calculated at the near bus end. When inserting fields graphically, this field is automatically set to the closest bus on the oneline.

Far Bus Number

Bus associated with the far end of the object.

Circuit

Two-character identifier used to distinguish between multiple lines or transformers joining the same two buses. Default is ‘1’.

Total Digits in Fields

Total number of digits to show in the field.

Digits to Right of Decimal

Number of digits to show to the right of the decimal point.

Delta Per Mouse Click

Only used with the MVA Limit field type. Specifying a nonzero value for this field equips the MVA Limit field with an integrated spin button that can be clicked to increment or decrement the MVA Limit by the amount of the Delta Per Mouse Click value.

Field Value

The current value of the field being displayed.

Field Prefix

A prefix that can be specified and displayed with the selected value.

Rotation Angle in Degrees

The angle at which the text will appear on the diagram.

Anchored

If this checkbox is checked, the line analog is anchored to its associated line.

Include Suffix

If this checkbox is checked, the corresponding field units will be displayed after the current value. Otherwise, only the value without units will be shown.

Type of Field

Used to determine the type of line field to show. The following choices are available:

MW Flow 

MW flow into the line or transformer at the near bus.

Mvar Flow 

Mvar flow into the line or transformer at the near bus.

MVA Flow 

Magnitude of MVA flow into the line or transformer at the near bus.

Amp Flow 

Magnitude of amps into the line at the near bus.

MW Losses 

Real power losses on the line or transformer in MW.

Mvar Losses 

Reactive power losses on the line or transformer in Mvar.

MVA Limit 

MVA limit for the line or transformer. This limit is determined based on the line's Limit Set and the option with that Limit Set that specifies which rating set to use for the Normal Rating Set. Delta per Mouse Click can be specified to show a spin button next to this value that can be used for changing it directly from the oneline.

Select a Field 

Choose from any of the available line fields. Use the Find Field button to open a dialog from which the field can be selected.

Checking the Draw Sparkline checkbox will display a sparkline instead of a field value on the oneline and list only those fields that are available for representation as a sparkline.
