(The location selection options provide the input criteria used to determine locations that will be evaluated for capacitor placement)
Location Must Have Racks - With option enabled, Capacitor Design evaluates new capacitor installations only at sites where capacitors already exist.
Location Must Be Three Phase - With option enabled, Capacitor Design evaluates new capacitor installations only along three-phase sections of system.
Location Must be Allowed for Additional Devices - With option enabled, Capacitor Design evaluates new capacitor installations only at locations that allow analysis applications to install additional equipment. To mark this specification on the locations, use the Schematic Control Center.
Consider
if L-L kV is less than ____ % Nominal kV - With option enabled,
this value specifies the line to line low voltage limit, as percentage
of nominal, which determines whether the application will consider occurring
location for placement of new units.
For example: If
option is enabled with a value of 94.0%, a circuit location with an operating voltage
of 94% nominal (or above) is not considered for new units due to low voltage
criteria, but a location operating at 93.9% of nominal voltage (or below)
would be considered for placement of new units, provided it is not excluded
by any of the optional "Location
Must Have..." criteria enabled
above.
Consider
if p.f is less than ____ - With option enabled, this value specifies
the low threshold for power factor, which determines whether application
will consider occurring location for the placement of new units.
For example: If
option is enabled with a value of 0.950, a circuit location with a power
factor of 0.950 (or above) is not considered for new units due to power
factor criteria, but a location with a power factor of 0.949 (or below)
would be considered for placement
of new units, provided it is not excluded by any of the optional "Location Must Have..."
criteria enabled above.
Max # Units/Ph ____ - This value specifies the maximum number of units to be placed per phase at any location. If application determines that the optimal number of units for a location is more than the maximum number of units specified, then the recommended number of units for the location will be the value specified here.
Min # Units/Ph ____ - This value specifies the minimum number of units to be placed per phase at any location. If application determines that the optimal number of units for a location is less than the minimum number of units specified, then new units will not be recommended for the location.
Max p.f. ____ - This value specifies the maximum power factor that is to exist at any test location. If capacitor placement at a location will result in a power factor that exceeds the maximum value, then new units will not be recommended for the location.
Cap from DB - Drop down listing of allowable capacitor selections from database. Listing contains only single phase capacitors, unless the application's location option has "Location Must Be Three Phase" enabled. The text caption beneath the list box describes the type of capacitor that has been selected. Examples include: "This is a single phase cap" or "This is a grounded-wye cap."
L-L kV ____ - This value specifies the line to line voltage rating (in kV) where capacitors are considered for placement. Sections of the system that are operating at other line to line voltage levels will not be considered. This is another one of the input criteria used to determine locations that the application evaluates for the placement of capacitors.
kVar/Ph ____ - This value specifies the kVAR per unit. The application's placement recommendations may vary depending on this specification. Smaller units give the application more precise control.
Run in Auto Mode - When enabled, capacitors that result in the maximum loss reduction will be added automatically until the source power factor reaches unity.
