Series Capacitor Fields on Onelines
Series capacitor fields are used to show field values specific to series capacitors.
Run Mode
If the Series Capacitor field for capacitor status is displayed, the capacitor status can be toggled in
run mode when you left-click on the field.
Right-clicking on the series capacitor field gives the option to display the Series Capacitor Field
Dialog or the Branch Information Dialog.
Edit Mode
To enter a new series capacitor field, select Field > Series Capacitor Field from the Individual
Insert ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab, and then click on or near the series capacitor object for
which you want to add the new field. This calls up the Series Capacitor Field Dialog. Enter the from
and to bus numbers associated with the device (the default values for these fields correspond to the
series capacitor on which you clicked), and the circuit number of the device. Enter the total number
of digits that the field should display, as well as the number of digits to the right of the decimal
point. Finally, specify what the field should display: the capacitor status or the series capacitance.
To modify the parameters of an existing series capacitor field, position the cursor anywhere on the
object and right-click to bring up the Series Capacitor Field Dialog.
