The following explanation refers to the examples Configuration D of the Bus Load Configuration Examples documentation. This example is based on a configuration of multiple loads with different operation modes connected to the same bus.
Smart Electrical enables you to calculate compensated loads in two ways. You can do one of the following:
-
Use the coincidence factor of each individual load. When calculating the compensated load values, the software multiplies the raw uncompensated load kW and kVAR values by the load coincidence factors.
-
Use the average coincidence factors of the bus. When calculating the compensated load values, the software multiplies the raw uncompensated load kW and kVAR values by the coincidence factors as defined in the properties of the buses that these loads are connected to. Make sure that you specify these coincidence factors for each bus.
Loads that are connected to a bus through circuits that are defined as disconnected
do not contribute to the bus load summary calculation.
