Switched Shunt Field Options Dialog
See Also
Switched shunt field display objects are used primarily to indicate various quantities associated with switched shunt devices on onelines. Some switched shunt field types, which are distinguished by an integrated spin button, may be used to change switched shunt device properties.
This dialog can be opened by right-clicking on a switched shunt display field and choosing to open the Switched Shunt Field Information Dialog while in run mode. If in edit mode this dialog will be opened simply by right-clicking on a switched shunt display field.
The Switched Shunt Field Options dialog can be used to modify the properties of individual switched shunt fields on the oneline. The dialog displays the following fields:
Find…
If you do not know the exact bus number or name you are looking for, you can click this button to open the advanced search engine.
Bus Number
Bus Name
Name of the bus to which the switched shunt associated with the field is connected. Use the dropdown box to view a list of all buses with switched shunts in the case with valid area/zone/owner filters.
ID
ID of the switched shunt associated with the field.
Total Digits in Field
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.
Field Value
The current value of the field being displayed.
Field Prefix
A prefix that can be specified and displayed with the selected value.
Delta Per Mouse Click
Switched shunt fields can be used not only to show various fields associated with switched shunt devices, but they can also be used to change some values. This is accomplished using spin buttons shown to the right of the switched shunt field. When the up spin button is clicked, the switched shunt field value is increased by the amount specified in the delta per mouse click field. When the down spin button is clicked, the switched shunt field value is decreased by the same amount.
This field is only used for Switched Shunt Mvar fields. Specifying a nonzero value in this field causes the integrated spin button to appear as part of the switched shunt field on the oneline.
Rotation Angle in Degrees
The angle at which the text is placed on the diagram, in degrees.
Anchored
If this checkbox is checked, the switched shunt field is anchored to its associated switched shunt, which means that it will move with the switched shunt.
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 switched shunt field to show. The following choices are available:
Switched Shunt Mvar
Total Mvar capacitance at the bus. This is the only field for which the Delta per Mouse Click option is applicable.
Select a Field
Choose from any of the available switched shunt 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.
Select OK to save changes and to close the dialog, or click Cancel to close the dialog without saving your changes.
