The Automatic Insertion of Loads Dialog is used to automatically draw loads on the oneline diagram on existing bus display objects. Only loads that are already defined in the power flow case can be added automatically; if you need to define a brand new load, see Load 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 loads automatically, you must first have drawn the terminal bus for each device. Simulator then draws the load display objects connected to the buses for each load 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 load display objects at terminal buses whose nominal voltages meet or exceed the minimum kV level specified in this field. For a load 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 load will appear with the loads, such as MVAR and/or MW.
Insert Equivalenced Objects
If this option is checked, equivalenced objects modeled as loads will also be automatically inserted with the real transmission lines.
Use Only Selected Buses
Instead of having Simulator automatically insert load display objects throughout the oneline diagram, you can force it to insert the new objects only between 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.
