1.2.2 Access Control / User Access Levels

After user accounts are created, users can assign access levels to specific job files for specific users. When a usercreates a new job file (either with File New or File Save As), that user is considered the manager of that newjob file. To be allowed to assign access levels to job files, the user must be a validated user. Thus, the user mustenter a password before that user can define access levels for a new job file. Obviously this means the useraccount must be created by an administrator before the user can assign access privileges.

The available privilege levels for job file access are: Manager, Writer, Reader, None. Any user can be assignedany access level to a job file. The creator of the job file is designated as a Manager. Managers can specify othermanagers, or give lower levels of privilege to other users.

Managers have full access to the job file, including changing access levels for other users. Writers can read, write, modify, and delete data in the job file. Readers can only read data from the job file. None means that the user cannot access the job file.

Privilege levels may be specified for as many users as the job file manager desires. These privileges specify whataccess is permitted for the users, thus the list of privileges is called the Access Control list.

file.

Step 1.When a new job file is created, the user hasthe opportunity to specify that access controlsare to be used for the job file. The user ispresented with this dialog box. The user mustthen specify an existing User ID and therespective Password.

It is important to keep in mind that this

1.12.3 Working with Layers

The EDSA-ACTRIX interface allows the user to set up multiple drawing layers. These can be used to organize thedifferent types of information that are added to any given project. For example, all the icons that constitute thesingle line diagram can be placed in a layer called SLD (short for Single Line Diagram). Other information such asnotes, can be place on a separate layer called NOTES. Title blocks can be placed in their own layers and so on.The advantage of using layers is that it allows proper protection and display of different types of informationpresented on the drawing. Each layer can have different properties as indicated below:

ACTIVE Any element added to the drawing is placed by default into the Active layer. The Active layer isdesignated by the user and there can only be one Active layer at a time. The Active layer statuscan be re-assigned to any Layer as per the users requirements.

VISIBLE Any layer designated as Visible, will display the objects contained therein. If the Visible commandis deselected, then these objects will become Invisible (hidden from wiew). Making a layerInvisible does not delete the objects contained therein, it merely hides them from view.

SELECT Makes any of the objects contained in the layer selectable.

SNAP Allows the user to Snap to any of the objects contained in this type of layer.

COLOR Allows the user to globally change the color of all the objects contained in the layer.

As an example, lets assume that we wanted to make the single line diagram (placed on a layer called SLD)visible but not editable or snappable. In this case we would simply de-activate the SELECT & SNAP features onthe SLD layer while making sure that the VISIBLE feature remained active.

The next pages will explain the basic layer commands and how to use them.

Step 6.If on the other hand, the user selects the drawingsmargin line, the Layer window will indicate that this linehas been placed on a layer called Border.

Step 5.When selecting any object on the drawing, theLayer window will show the layer in which theobject has been placed. In this case if we selectthe transformer, the window will indicate that ithas not been placed in any Layer yet. If the userdoes not intentionally create layers beforeentering the single line diagram, EDSA places theobjects by default in a No Layer location.

Step 4.Click on the pick-list to display all thelayers available for the current file.

1.13 Load Schedules

Load

Schedule

Static Loads

OnlyMixed Load

Static Loads Motor Loads

Impact on

Load Flow

Impact on

Short Circuit

EDSA allows the user to enter load schedules directly from the load editor. The loads entered in this fashion canbe composed of purely static loads, motor loads, or a combination of both. The reader must interpret the termstatic load as a load that does not contribute to short circuit currents (Lights, heaters, etc.). The key issue here isthat when grouping different types of loads in the load schedule application, the user must specify what categorythe intended schedule falls under. From the Load Flow point of view, it is quite simple since all types of loadsmust be considered as demand on the system. This means that from on the Load Flow side of the load editorthey will always be considered as loads. This is clearly shown in above figure.

From the Short Circuit point of view, however, careful consideration must be given to the classification, since theshort circuit contribution of different types of motor loads is calculated according to specifically differentguidelines. The following table will guide the user on how to define the Short Circuit section of the load editorwhen entering different types of combinations.

If the load combination includes Select this Short Circuit Bus Code.

High Voltage Motors High Voltage Motors or Mixed LoadSynchronous Motors Synchronous Motors or Mixed Load

Induction Motors Induction Motors or Mixed LoadAll or any combination of the above Mixed Load

The next exercise will be based on the following example:

System Voltage: 480 VLoad Type: Load Schedule

Loads Connected: 1. Induction Motor 1 50 HP2. Heating Block 150 kW

As it can be appreciated from this example, there are a total of 2 loads that must be considered from the LoadFlow point of view, while only 1 of them will impact the Short Circuit calculations.

Scenarios of interest may include Load Flow, Motor Starting, andHarmonic conditions. In this example two scenarios will be created, both of which will apply to the incoming

utility supply. The first scenario will simulate a sustained Under-Voltage condition (0.85 pu) and the secondscenario will simulate a sustained Over-Voltage condition (1.15 pu). Both scenarios are fictitious.

1.28 Error Checks & Data Structure Analyzer (File: EDM1DA.axd)

The network Connectivity & Data Structure Analyzer is a tool designed to check proper network connectivity aswell as repair files that have discrepancies between their single line diagram graphical representations and theirrespective databases. In other words, when some elements do not appear on the single line diagram but do

appear on the database. The location and use of the Connectivity & Data Structure Analyzer command will beshown in the following example.

This section will explain, how to spread a single

line diagram over multiple drawing files whilemaintaining the database connectivity. Theexample will be based on the adjacent singleline diagram. In this case, the 4.16 kVsubstation, supplies power to an induction motorand to a 480 Volt switchboard. The first file willbe EDM1.axd, and will contain the mediumvoltage distribution. The second file will benamed EDM1_2.axd will contain the lowvoltage distribution as shown in the graph.
