Phase Balancing Setup

Generate a Report - When selected, application generates an ASCII output report

Assign Report Name - allows user to specify the file name and destination path for the report. Note: Use this option to avoid overwriting previous reports.
Default Report Name - application automatically assigns the default report name (i.e. PhaseBalance.rep) and overwrites any previous versions in the default destination (DEW Reports) folder.

Max Phase Moves

[___] - specifies the maximum number of possible phase moves that the application is allowed to perform.

Balance Point Switches

[Pick Switches] - opens the Balance Points dialog, which allows user to select any 3-phase switch locations where the application will not perform phase moves that result in an increased imbalance.

As shown, reclosers RCL-2 and RCL-3 have been selected to be balance points.

Do Not Re-phase Laterals with Under-grounded Components - directs application to eliminate all laterals having any underground component from re-phase consideration, i.e. restricts re-phasing to laterals having only overhead components.
Do Not Re-phase Laterals with Flows Less Than [___] kVa - allows user to specify a minimal kVA value for re-phasing, where any lateral with kVA below the input will not be considered for re-phase.
Do Not Re-phase Laterals with Open-Delta or Open-Wye TR's - directs application to eliminate all laterals having open-delta or open-wye connections from re-phase consideration.
Do Not Re-phase 2-ph Grounded Laterals - directs application to eliminate all two-phase and grounded laterals from re-phase consideration.
