The Batch Load Association dialog enables you to balance load flow of a particular bus and associate multiple loads with a power distribution board (PDB) and a bus. Also, allows you to display the calculated consumption for the entire power distribution board or a particular bus belonging to the selected power distribution board. You can also assign a load to a particular phase or define a load as a three-phase load.
Power distribution board
Specifies the power distribution board with which you associate the loads.
Bus
Allows you to select a specific bus for which you want to perform load association.
Bus phases
(Available for the Loads tab only)
The check boxes in this group box allow you to filter the display of loads in the Associated loads data window according to their assigned phases. You define the bus phase labels in the bus Properties window.
Phase 1
Filters the Associated loads list and displays only the loads that are associated with phase 1.
Phase 2
Filters the Associated loads list and displays only the loads that are associated with phase 2.
Phase 3
Filters the Associated loads list and displays only the loads that are associated with phase 3.
All phases
Displays all the loads disregarding their phase association.
Create circuits and cells
(Available for the Loads tab only)
Create circuits
Enables you to automatically create a feeder circuit for all the loads that are not associated with circuits. This selection does not affect the associated loads that are already associated with feeder circuits. The software creates a circuit based on the last applied typical circuit. If no typical circuit is associated with the current load, the software creates a feeder circuit without any circuit components.
Create cells
Enables you to automatically create a cell where the software creates the feeder circuits for the associated loads.
Circuits Tab
Allows you to display all the circuits that are connected to the current bus and which feed other buses.
The following table summarizes the information presented on the Circuits tab. For a comprehensive summary of how the software presents the information on the Batch Load Association dialog, see the summary table at the bottom of the Associate Loads with a PDB in Batch Mode procedure, above the notes.
