Transformer Field Options Dialog
Transformer field objects are used to show field values specific to transformers. Use Line Fields to
show fields generic to transformers and transmission lines, such as the flow of power through the
device. The transformer fields dialog is used to view and modify the parameters associated with
transformer-specific fields.
Near Bus Number
Bus associated with the near end of the transformer.
Far Bus Number
Bus associated with the far end of the transformer.
Circuit
Two-character identifier used to distinguish between transformers joining the same two buses.
Default is '1'.

If you do not know the exact transformer you are looking for, you can click this button to open the
advanced search engine.

Total number of digits to show in the field.
Digits to Right of Decimal

Delta per Mouse Click
This value is used only with the Off-nominal Tap Ratio and Phase Shift Angle field types. When
there is a nonzero entry in this field, and the field type is valid, a spin button is shown to the right of
the zone field. When the up spin button is clicked, the field value is increased by this number; when
the down button is clicked, the field value is decreased by this amount.
Field Value
Shows the current output for the transformer field. Whenever you change the Type of Field
selection, this field is updated.
Field Prefix
A prefix that can be specified and displayed with the selected value.
Rotation Angle in Degrees
The angle at which the text is to appear on the oneline diagram.
Anchored
When checked, the text field will move with the transformer if the transformer is moved on the
oneline diagram.
Include Suffix
If the Include Suffix checkbox is checked, the corresponding field units will be displayed after the
current value. Otherwise, only the value without units will be shown.
