Switched Shunt Information (Edit Mode)<br />

The Switched Shunt Options dialog is used to view and modify the parameters associated with each<br />

switched shunt in the system. It can also be used to insert new switched shunts and sometimes to<br />

delete existing shunts. Multiple switched shunts are permitted at each bus, although only one is<br />

allowed to be on automatic control at each bus. Switched shunts usually consist of either capacitors to<br />

supply reactive power (in Mvar) to the system, or reactors to absorb reactive power. The switched<br />

shunts are represented by a number of blocks of admittance that can be switched in a number of<br />

discrete steps.<br />

This dialog can be accessed by right-clicking on a switched shunt display object and choosing<br />

Switched Shunt Information Dialog or right-clicking on a switched shunt record in the Switched<br />

Shunt Display and choosing Show Dialog.<br />

The Edit mode version of this dialog is very similar in content to its Run mode counterpart.<br />

Bus Number<br />

Unique number between 1 and 2,147,483,647 (equals 2^31 minus 1) used to identify the bus to<br />

which the switched shunt is attached. You can use the spin button immediately to the right of the<br />

number to move to the next switched shunt (click the up arrow) or the previous switched shunt<br />

(click the down arrow).<br />

Find By Number<br />

To find a switched shunt by its bus number, enter the number into the Bus Number field. Then click<br />

this button.<br />

Bus Name<br />

Unique alphabetic identifier for the bus to which the switched shunt is attached, consisting of up to<br />

eight characters.<br />

Find By Name<br />

To find a switched shunt by its bus name, enter the bus name into the Bus Name field (case<br />

insensitive). Then click this button.<br />

Shunt ID<br />

Since multiple switched shunts are allowed on a single bus, each switched shunt has a unique Shunt<br />

ID.<br />

Find…<br />

If you do not know the exact switched shunt bus number or name you are looking for, you can click<br />

this button to open the advanced search engine.<br />

Status<br />

Open or closed status of the switched shunt.<br />

Labels<br />

Clicking on this button will open the Label Manager Dialog listing all the labels assigned for the<br />

selected switched shunt.<br />

Area Number, Area Name<br />

The area number and name to which the switched shunt belongs. Note that you can change the<br />

area of the switched shunt to be different than the area of the terminal bus. If you do so, you will be<br />
