7 1.3.4 Setup ad use of atioal versios I the setup w izard you ca choose techology packages w hich you w at to istall from a coutry list. O the oe had, this implies the laguage selectio, because w ith each coutry selectio the atioal laguage ad Eglish are istalled as laguages. O the other had, this also implies the istallatio of the techology package pertaiig to the selected coutry, i.e. the product rage available for the coutry, the techology of w hich complies w ith the regulatios ad coditios of the respective coutry. It is possible to select several coutries w hich is above all ecessary if you are editig projects for differet coutries, because you should, of course, edit each project w ith the relevat techology package oly. If you later w at to edit a project for a coutry w hose techology package / laguage is ot istalled, this ca be made up for w ithout ay problems by restartig the istallatio, selectig a coutry or several further coutries ad thus istallig the required laguages ad techology packages. All istalled coutries ad, if a coutry w as selected, also the associated laguages are displayed for selectio i the program step Project defiitio 38. How ever, the program must be restarted after every chage applied to the selectio. Please ote that you must also reistall ay available updates, sice the updates oly istall that part w hich belogs to the atioal versios already istalled o your computer. How to check w hether a update is available ad how dow load ad istall it, if ecessary, is described i the sectio Setup from DVD 5 ad Setup after dow load 5. Whe havig edited ad dimesioed a project w ith a specific coutry settig ad reopeig this project w hile havig made a differet coutry selectio i SIMARIS desig, the dimesioig ad device selectio of the previous coutry settig is kept first but might ot go w ith the product portfolio available i the ew ly selected coutry or w ith the techology required there. It is therefore absolutely ecessary to restart dimesioig so that the techology ad product selectio relevat for this coutry is made. Whe editig projects for various coutries, the atioal laguage ad Eglish are each provided for editig. This meas, for example, that you ca edit the project i Eglish but ca chage to the atioal laguage for documetatio purposes. Or you ca sed the project file to the coutry ad the editor there ca ope ad edit the project i the atioal laguage. 7

All settigs ad optios resultig from this w ill be described i detail i the follow ig Network diagram i a separate widow Move etw ork diagram to separate w idow Clickig this ico opes a ew separate w idow i w hich oly the etw ork diagram ad the correspodig tool bar are displayed. This w idow ca the be dragged oto a secod moitor to get a better overview w hile editig. If you w at to see the etw ork diagram w ithi the origial program w idow agai, click this ico agai to disable the fuctio Selectig elemets ad browsig the etwork diagram Selectio tool Brow se... Havig clicked this ico, you ca select elemets of existig objects i the etw ork diagram, so that their properties are displayed at the bottom left ext to the etw ork diagram. At the same time, ay still active elemet from the library is deactivated. This ico opes a search w idow i w hich you ca search for items of equipmet w ithi the etw ork or project structure accordig to various criteria. I the "Status" sectio you ca check w hether all items have bee dimesioed w ithout error or w hether there are still ay otes or errors left. I the "Netw ork" sectio the etw ork structure is represeted as a tree. I the "Type" sectio, elemets of the etw ork diagram are listed sorted by circuit type, e.g. mai distributio boards, feed-i paths, coupligs, sub-distributio boards... I the "Fial circuits" sectio, the fial circuits cotaied i the etw ork diagram are listed, sorted by the type of fial circuit, e.g. dummy load, capacitor, motor... I the "Selectivity" sectio, the elemets of the etw ork diagram are sorted accordig to the criterio of full or partial selectivity. This sectio, how ever, is oly available i the professioal versio. I additio, you have a text search optio, i.e. you ca search the desigatio of a etw ork diagram elemet. Havig etered the desired text i the appropriate lie i the search w idow, the list w ill be reduced to those circuits that cotai the search w ord. Whe you mark the desired elemet i the results list (the correspodig part is highlighted i blue i the list), the correspodig elemet o the etw ork diagram w ill be marked w ith a blue frame. 10

How ever, the defied sw itch positios ad etw ork operatig modes are ot show i the etw ork diagram but are graphically represeted i the project documetatio. Operatig modes ca be activated / deactivated. I the etw ork diagram oly the data for active operatig modes is show. If the dimesioig is started agai, the etw ork is dimesioed oly o basis of active operatig modes. I the follow ig cases, dimesioig is impossible or does ot deliver ay result: Parallel ifeed via a geeral couplig (oly applies to the basic versio) More tha oe pow er source at the target distributio board o the sub-distributio level w ith directioal couplig (oly applies to the professioal versio) Pow er sources ot coected ito the system For further iformatio o this subject, please refer to the sectio Dimesioig ad message list 102 i this Help. 11

12 Dimesioig With these icos the project ca be dimesioed differetly depedig o the requiremets. Usig this ico the etire project ca be dimesioed. Dim esio all circuits This ico serves for dimesioig the selected circuit ad all elemets cotaied therei. Dim esio selected circuit Usig this ico the selected circuit ad all dow stream circuits coected to it are dimesioed. Dimesioig is, how ever, ot performed across coupligs i this case. Dim esio selected circuit For further iformatio o the dimesioig process, please refer to thechapter Dimesioig ad message list i this Help.

13 Network diagram views These icos activate the set of view s available i this program. The etw ork diagram is displayed accordig to the selectio made, i.e. the parameters pertaiig to the selected view are displayed ext to the idividual elemets of the etw ork diagram. Netw ork diagram w ith device parameters Netw ork diagram w ith load flow / load distributio Netw ork diagram w ith short-circuit load Netw ork diagram w ith eergy report Netw ork diagram w ith user-defied labellig This ico is active by default. I this view the follow ig parameters are displayed for the elemets of the etw ork diagram: Automatically geerated elemet desigatio w ith cosecutive umberig Brief descriptio of the elemets Depedig o the type of elemet, further data is displayed, e.g. - rated curret of the elemet - legth of the elemet - reactive pow er of the elemet - rated voltage of the elemet - cable cross sectios - MRPD - umber of poles. This ico activates a view i w hich ot oly the desigatio ad MRPD of the elemets o the etw ork diagram are displayed but also parameters such as - pow er - pow er factor cos j - voltage percetage at this poit i the etw ork - summated voltage drop i percet - simultaeity factor - permissible operatig curret of a coectig lie lz - operatig curret lb ad further techical data. Clickig this ico displays ot oly the ame ad MRPD of the elemets o the etw ork diagram but also the miimum ad maximum short-circuit currets as w ell as further iformatio o the short-circuit stregth. Attetio: Miimum ad maximum short-circuit curret are displayed w ith referece to the umber of poles a elemet has, e.g. for a sigle-pole load Ik 1 mi ad Ik 1 max are displayed. By activatig this ico, the follow ig iformatio is displayed at every mai distributio, sub-distributio ad pow er cosumer: - apparet pow er - active pow er - reactive pow er - rated apparet pow er - loaded phase coductors. If you eed your ow, idividual label cofiguratio of the etw ork diagram, you ca compile such idividual labellig usig the Tools meu 25 à "Settigs" à "Cofigurable etw ork diagram output". This variat of labellig ca be displayed i the program step "Netw ork desig" ad ca be output as a user-defied view i the program step "Project output", as described i the sectio Output types 109. Oly for the Chia coutry settig: Withi this idividual cofiguratio, DI types ca also be selected for the etw ork diagram labellig Selectivity Selectivity view This ico opes a ew, separate w idow w ith the selectivity view. But it is ecessary to select a elemet/sw itchig device i the etw ork diagram first, w hose characteristic curves ad settig optios w ill the be displayed. If the settigs of the elemets are chaged via the regulators displayed o the left of the selectivity view, the characteristic curve i the graphic o the right is sychroously adapted. These chaged settigs are saved, but oly util automatic dimesioig is started, w hich the overw rites these values accordig to the dimesioig results that w ere gaied. If you w at to specify the maually selected settigs permaetly, you ca click o the key symbol show to the right of the slider, thus eablig it. I this case, the specified values w ill ot be overw ritte durig re-dimesioig, they are retaied. Devices w here settigs w ere made accordigly are idetified i the etw ork diagram by a key symbol. Further elemets ca be set by selectig the elemets i the etw ork diagram oe after aother, because the selectivity view alw ays displays the characteristic curves of the elemets curretly selected i the etw ork diagram i the correspodig circuit. 13

14 14 If a protective device w as added to a circuit both dow stream ad upstream of the cable/busbar, the tw o device curves are show i blue (at the begiig of the cable/busbar lie) ad i gree (at the ed of the cable/busbar lie), icludig a tolerace bad. The evelope curves of the upstream devices (referred to the protective devices uder cosideratio) are show i red, the dow stream oes are show i grey. The tw o vertical curves idicate the miimum ad maximum short-circuit curret at this poit. The pik characteristic curve show s the selectivity limit, meaig the short-circuit curret up to w hich the protective device uder cosideratio is selective (curret discrimiatig) to the upstream device. If a higher short-circuit curret flow s, the upstream device, too, or both devices ca trip. The curve colours described above reflect the basic settig for the selectivity diagram. You ca, how ever, adjust the colour settigs for selectivity diagram curves usig the Tools meu à Settigs àselectivity Settigs à I-t diagram scree colours accordig to your ow colour scheme. The leged displayed at the top right i the selectivity diagram describes the curve colours of the curretly show diagram. I order ot to w ipe out the curves i the selectivity diagram, the leged ca be set i such a w ay usig the Tools meu à Settigs àselectivity Settigs that it is automatically miimized ad is oly show elarged/legible durig mouseover.

15 Paper size Set paper size Via the pull-dow meu of the Set paper size ico you ca choose from seve predefied paper sizes ad the optio to specify a user-defied paper size. The curretly set paper size is displayed i the ico o the tool bar usig the symbols from the meu. The predefied paper sizes are each provided w ith a draw ig frame, w hereas the user-defiable paper size is ot. The paper size selected for the overall diagram i this program step should be selected i such a w ay that the letterig is still legible, depedig o the size of the etw ork diagram. I the case of large etw ork diagrams it is possible - also if selectig a large paper size - to split the pritout ito several smaller pages w hich ca the be pieced together agai like a jigsaw puzzle. This is ecessary, for example, if o priter is available for pritig the large paper size. If "Defie page format" is selected from the pull-dow meu, a separate w idow opes for eterig the user-defied settigs for the page format. Here, the w idth ad height of the desired page format ca be etered i mm; the values ca rage from 100 mm to 5,000 mm. Via the meu item "Reload frame" you ca load your ow draw ig frame. After this meu item has bee selected, the brow ser is opeed ad you ca select a file i.dxf or.dw g format, w hich is the displayed as draw ig frame i the graphic area ad ca be used to edit a project. Via the meu item "Chages" you ca add a title block for a chage idex at ay positio i the etw ork diagram. As soo as you have placed the small table i the diagram, e.g. by clickig the left mouse butto, a w idow opes for eterig the data. Whe you click"ok", the data that w as etered is automatically trasferred to the chage idex i the diagram. The chage idex ca be edited ad exteded usig the cotext meu, w hich opes as soo as the mouse poiter is placed o the chage idex i the graphic ad the right mouse butto is pressed. Here you ca do the follow ig w ith the chage idex: 15

Therefore, it is ot a zoom fuctio but a real resizig. Startig from the preset origial size, the elemets ca be scaled dow by a maximum of six stages ad theoretically scaled up edlessly. The thus set size w ill be applied to all elemets of the etw ork diagram ad w ill also apply w he placig further elemets. ATTENTION: Especially w he scalig dow elem ets, this settig is to be checked w ith regard to the legibility of the data o the pritout, because the legibility m ight vary greatly depedig o the priter Alig For the vertical aligmet of mai ad sub-distributio boards, the follow ig optios are provided: Left aligmet, the elemet selected farthest o the left servig as referece poit. Vertically cetred aligmet, the w eighted cetre of all selected elemets servig as referece poit. Right aligmet, the elemet selected farthest o the right servig as referece poit. For the horizotal aligmet of selected elemets, the follow ig optios are provided for aligig the selected elemets: At the level of the top (selected) elemet. I the w eighted horizotal cetre of all selected elemets. At the level of the low est (selected) elemet. To alig a mai or sub-distributio board to a upstream distributio board, it is possible to alig the startig ad ed poit of the coectig lie betw ee the tw o distributio boards vertically horizotally. Selected elemets ca be distributed evely. The respective outermost elemets of the selectio are set as referece poits ad, at regular itervals, the elemets i-betw ee are aliged horizotally. aliged vertically. 16

I further colums the apparet pow er ad the relative pow er loss of the circuits are listed as w ell. The accumulated legth show s the distace betw ee the relevat circuit ad the mai distributio for the operatig mode selected. Besides beig sorted accordig to absolute pow er loss, the list ca also be sorted either accordig to apparet pow er or relative circuit pow er loss. To do so, left-click o the correspodig colum header. As soo as the circuit w as selected i the table (ow highlighted i blue), ist compositio ad the compoets cotaied therei as show i the grey field o the right. I additio the pow er losses of the compoets i this circuit are displayed, i.e. the absolute pow er losses of cable coectios, busbar coectios ad devices. The circuit selected i the list is also marked w ith a blue frame o the etw ork diagram. How ever, the eergy effciecy aalysis oly cosiders the trasformers ad the low -voltage side of the etw ork diagram, so that the medium-voltage side compoets possibly displayed for feedig circuits areocosidered ad/or listed. The etire list of pow er losses of all circuits ca be exported as.csv file usig the "Start Export (*csv)" butto, so that it ca be postedited separately ad used for documetatio purposes. The "Chage Device" buttos displayed for each circuit compoet ca be used for chage techical details of the compoet. 23

24 For example, icreasig the rated pow er of a trasformer allow s to reduce the absolute pow er loss. If you w ould like to keep the chaged techical data i case of circuit re-dimesioig, you must exclude your selectio from automatic dimesioig (remove the checkmark at the top). The respective compoet w ill the be marked w ith a padlock symbol (o the etw ork diagram, too) ad excluded from a redimesioig cycle of the etire etw ork or sub-etw orks. The absolute pow er loss of the compoet w hich w as established after the selectio w as chaged w ill immediately be displayed i the pow er loss overview as soo as you close the dialogue box. I a similar w ay, you ca adapt the techical data of other compoets i these dialogues to reduce pow er losses, e.g. a higher rated curret ca be selected for sw itchig devices. But please keep i mid that such a selectio ca produce otes ad error messages, w hich w ould be show below the etw ork diagram. To elimiate such otes ad errors, you must adjust the techical data of other compoets either by a automatic redimesioig cycle or by maual iput for idividual compoets.

Whe selectig a sub-elemet, its mai properties are displayed below the circuit properties, ad ca i parts also be adapted there. By double-clickig a sub-elemet w ith the left mouse butto or by callig the cotext meu via the right mouse butto ( à Properties), it is moreover possible to ope a ew w idow w ith the equipmet dialogue for the sub-elemet, displayig the detailed properties of this subelemet. I this dialogue, various settigs ca be made. These chages ca be applied to all similar ew elemets by clickig the "As default" butto. Defaults defied this w ay are saved beyod the program rutime ad w ill therefore also be valid after a restart. The equipmet dialogues of the ifeed ad distributio equipmet as w ell as of the overvoltage protectio equipmet each also provide the optio to eable or disable automatic dimesioig of the selected equipmet. By settig or removig the checkmark i this field, the selected sub-elemet ca either be icluded i automatic dimesioig by the program or excluded from it. If the checkmark is removed, i.e. the elemet is excluded from automatic dimesioig, this is idicated i the equipmet dialogue ad i the etw ork diagram by a padlock symbol displayed ext to the sub-elemet. How ever, this also meas that for this elemet the properties set by the user w ill also remai if automatic dimesioig of the etw ork is carried out. I the follow ig, the equipmet dialogues ad properties of the differet operatig elemets w ill be described, show ig the data w hich ca be set i the respective dialogues Properties of circuits Properties of circuits for ifeed ad distributio: It is possible to chage or select the desigatio system cofiguratio simultaeity factor separate protectio (oly for feed-i circuits) target of dimesioig selectivity iterval, if applicable. The desigatio assiged automatically ad cosecutively w he the circuit is created (cosecutive umber ad letter combiatio) ca be chaged as required. I a selected ifeed circuit, all 4 variats of the system cofiguratio are provided for selectio, i.e. it ca be set w hether the ifeed circuit is to be created as TN-C, TN-S, IT or TT etw ork. If there are several parallel ifeeds, the system cofiguratio selected for oe of the ifeed circuits w ill automatically be applied to all other existig ad further added parallel ifeeds. For basic iformatio about the differet pow er system cofiguratios, please refer to the sectio "Pow er Supply Systems, Coectio to Earth" i the Techical Maual for the SIMARIS softw are tools, w hich you ca access usig the Help meu 31 à "Techical maual". 73

74 Depedig o the selectio i the ifeed circuit, the system cofiguratio optios for distributio boards ad fial circuits w ill be restricted: Ifeed circuit TN-S, IT or TT à distributio boards w ill show the same system cofiguratio as the ifeed, w hich caot be chaged. Ifeed circuit TN-C à TN-S or TN-C are possible as system cofiguratio. The ifo butto liked to the "System cofiguratio" field makes further iformatio about this subject available, w hich is displayed i the ext w idow. The sim ultaeity factor is the ratio of maximum pow er required compared to istalled capacity. It takes ito accout that ofte ot all of the pow er cosumers i a plat are operated simultaeously, ad i case of simultaeous operatio they are ot alw ays operated uder full load. The value rage of this factor is to be set betw ee 1 (= alw ays full load, i.e. 100 %) ad 0 (= alw ays sw itched off). If the simultaeity factor is set to 0, the item of equipmet w ill ot be cosidered i automatic dimesioig ad w ill therefore remai udimesioed. I feed-i circuits of type 'eutral system ifeed', or trasformer or geerator circuits, there is the optio to protect parallel cables separately.these cables ca either be determied by dimesioig or selected maually. A detailed descriptio of how to create such protectio ad select it ca be foud i the sectio "Circuit properties for ifeed circuits w ith separate protectio of parallel cables". As target of dim esioigbackup protectio or Selectivity ca be selected. Backup protectio meas that the sw itchig ad protective devices that w ere automatically selected by SIMARIS desig w ill protect themselves or w ill be protected by a upstream-coected sw itchig device i case of a possible short circuit. Selectivity meas that curret gradig of the sw itchig devices w ill be performed betw ee the circuits durig automatic dimesioig, curret gradig beig applied from circuit to circuit. Selectig this settig does ot ecessarily result i a selective behaviour of the determied protective assemblies, sice the behaviour of device combiatios regardig selectivity ca oly be established by testig. I the professioal versio you ca display iformatio regardig the selectivity of the protective assemblies that w ere determied (see sectio View meu 21 ad sectio Selectivity 13 ). Clickig the ifo butto opes a ew w idow that cotais further iformatio o backup protectio ad selectivity. The Selectivity iterval ca oly be set if "Selectivity" has bee set as the Target of dimesioig. From versio 6.0 o, the default value is 1.0. Nevertheless, the user ca set values betw ee 1 ad 3. It might be ecessary to adapt this settig correspodig to the device combiatios used ad the short-circuit currets preset i the cofigured etw ork i order to allow for dimesioig. It might, for example, happe that w he usig fuse techology i combiatio w ith a large selectivity iterval ad low miimum short-circuit currets that suitable fuses caot be determied to attai selective device trippig. The "As default" butto refers to the target of dimesioig ad the selectivity iterval. After a ew project has bee created, all the equipmet added to the etw ork diagram is first created w ith the target of dimesioig "Backup protectio". Though, if a circuit is selected ad its target of dimesioig is set to "Selectivity" ad the selectivity iterval to 2, for example, ad if the "As default" butto is the pressed, all further equipmet ew ly iserted i the etw ork diagram w ill be created w ith these parameters. How ever, the equipmet iserted before w ill keep its previous settigs. This ca be chaged by clickig the "Apply" butto w hich also refers to the target of dimesioig ad the selectivity iterval, because this effects that the ew settigs made for a elemet w ill be applied to the etire etw ork up to a possibly existig couplig.

It is show i the equipmet dialogue i the "Number of cables" field ad ca also be set there. I this cotext it is also possible to select the umber of cables per device, w here the umber of cables must be a multiple of the umber of cables per device. Correspodig to the settigs made at this poit, protective devices are assiged to the cables. This meas depedet o the umber of cables determied or set ad the umber of cables per device, the umber of protective devices required is established ad assiged to the cables. This equipmet dialogue ca either be called up by double-clickig the cable route or by selectig the cable route ad choosig à"properties" from the cotext meu (right mouse butto).

To be able to ru a dimesioig process, it is first of all ecessary to defie the operatig modes for the etw ork, because all sw itchig ad protective devices w ith pow er sources cotaied i the circuits as w ell as all coupligs are cosidered ope directly after their creatio, ad therefore a curret flow through the equipmet is ot possible. Oly after the user has set the status of the idividual sw itchig ad protective devices depedig o the operatig mode i such a w ay that a curret flow is possible, calculatios, dimesioig ad testig w ill be possible i SIMARIS desig. The operatig modes ca be defied either directly via the or by startig dimesioig of the etire etw ork via the To dimesio sigle circuits ico for defiig the operatig modes or subetw orks, ico, because this also starts the dialogue for defiig the operatig modes. it is ot oly ecessary to select the correspodig elemets i the etw ork diagram but also to defie the operatig modes via the ico i advace, because these icos oly become active w he the operatig modes have bee defied, i.e. a curret flow through the elemets is possible. These icos w ill, of course, also be active after dimesioig of the etire etw ork has bee completed, because this also icluded the defiitio of the operatig modes Dialogue of the operatig modes A basic itroductio to this topic ca be foud i the chapter Operatig modes 11 w ithi this Help maual (ico bars 9 à "Netw ork Desig" à "Operatig modes"). 102

103 The "Operatig modes" dialogue show s all settable sw itchig devices of the project, w hich are all ope at first. You ca ow chage the states of the ifeed circuits ad coupligs here, i.e. defie the sw itch positios required for the respective operatig mode. This meas that the sw itches show i the Operatig modes dialogue are used to coect or discoect circuits depedig o the operatig mode. Operatig modes ca be activated / deactivated i order to show calculatio results of the separate operatio modes. Cautio:Whe startig the automatic dimesioig, oly activated operatig modes are take ito accout. I the professioal versio, sub-distributio systems ca be sw itched, too, provided that they are additioally supplied by a directed couplig. All other circuits are cosidered as alw ays closed. Startig from the first operatig mode displayed by the program at the begiig, further operatig modes ca be defied by clickig the "Duplicate" butto uder a already created operatig mode i the Operatig modes dialogue so that a copy of the respective operatig mode is created, for w hich you ca the defie a ew desigatio ad make sw itch settigs that differ from the operatig mode w hich w as defied first. More operatig modes ca be defied that w ay. By clickig the "Delete" butto, the respective operatig mode is deleted from the dialogue. No-permissible combiatios of sw itch positios are sigalled by red error messages, e.g.. Notes: As every operatig mode is evaluated durig calculatio, the calculatio w orkload icreases w ith the umber of defied sw itchig states. You should therefore take care that o idetical operatig modes are defied. The program does ot check w hether idetical operatig modes have bee created. If there are tw o sw itches i a circuit (upstream ad dow stream of the cable/busbar), the dialogue displays oly oe sw itch; as a series coectio is give here, it is irrelevat for the calculatio w hich of the tw o sw itches is ope. Complex etw orks desiged w ith SIMARIS desig professioal may possibly lead to the problem that some cross coectios of coupligs caot be displayed graphically i the dialogue ay more. I this case, coectios are symbolised by tw o triagles/arrow s w hich are marked w ith a idetical umber. The arrow s idicate the directio of curret flow. 103

104 5.4.3 Dimesioig The prerequisite for dimesioig equipmet is a curret flow i at least oe operatig mode ad the selected optio "Automatic dimesioig" for the equipmet to be dimesioed. Equipmet marked by the padlock symbol w ill ot be cosidered for automatic dimesioig; also see the explaatio i the sectio Properties of circuits ad equipmet 73 of the equipmet dialogues. There are three buttos for the automatic dimesioig of the follow ig items of equipmet: trasformers, geerators, sw itchig ad protective devices, cables ad busbars. By clickig the "Dimesio all circuits" ico, dimesioig of the etire created etw ork is started. If o operatig modes have bee defied yet, this ca be doe w ithi the scope of dimesioig because the Operatig modes dialogue is started automatically at the begiig of the dimesioig process. The dimesioig result ca ot oly be the determiatio of the required data but also messages idicatig various problems durig the dimesioig process, w hich w ill be explaied i the follow ig sectio. By clickig the "Dimesio circuit" ico, the circuit curretly selected i the etw ork diagram is dimesioed. By clickig the "Dimesio selected sub-etw ork" ico, the circuit curretly selected i the etw ork diagram ad all dow stream circuits are dimesioed, except for directed coupligs.

105 5.4.4 Message list Dimesioig ca produce four types of status messages displayed i the message list below the etw ork diagram; essetial characteristics of these messages have already bee described i the sectio Message list 47 (Netw ork desig user iterface à Message list). Above the list, the total umber of messages available is displayed ad a ico also idicates the status of all messages. Circuits are cotaied i the projects w hich w ere ot or caot be checked (e.g. uloaded circuits). There are errors i the project. All circuits w ere checked ad there are o faulty circuits. Warigs, otes ad dimesioig errors are ot separately recorded ad associated to this ode. Primarily, the ico for circuits w hich w ere ot or caot be checked w ill be displayed here. If there are o such circuits, the "error" ico w ill be displayed. If there are o errors either, the etw ork diagram w ill be classified as OK w ith a gree checkmark. How ever, possibly existig w arigs, ifo messages ad dimesioig errors w ill be igored. This meas they must be checked i the list itself ad follow ed up ad/or corrected by appropriate actio i the cofiguratio itself. I the list itself, the follow ig icos are displayed w hich idicate the kid or status of the problem or error ivolved: Geeral messages ad iformatio is displayed ifcircuits are cotaied i the projects w hich w ere ot or caot be checked (e.g. uloaded circuits). Error messages result i the abortio of the calculatio/dimesioig process. This meas these errors must be corrected by chagig the arragemet of elemets or by chagig property settigs (o the left of the etw ork diagram) or i the equipmeet dialogue of the respective elemet i such a w ay that dimesioig is the possible. Warig messages idicate that default settigs or stadards have ot bee observed. This meas that a dimesioig ru w as performed, but it must be esured that the additioal requiremets as detailed i the existig w arig messages are met. Therefore, the user should solve the existig problems by chagig the cofiguratio or the settigs. Dimesioig errors idicate a usuccessful dimesioig process. Here, it is also ecessary to chage the cofiguratio ad the settigs to make dimesioig possible. The reaso for such dimesioig errors may as w ell be the error messages listed, for example, if the trasformer capacity is ot sufficiet, or a suitable sw itchig device w as ot foud. Iformatio messages cotai geeral iformatio or hits o the elemets ad thus support the user i checkig his cofiguratio, e.g. w ith regard to completeess. 105

You ca, how ever, replace this techical data, e.g. by eterig maufacturer-specific data. As dimesioig result, you w ill obtai the techical data for geerator ratig, w hich you ca use as a basis for product procuremet. 7.3 Trasformers Trasformer dimesioig is primarily based o those trasformers w hich are available from Siemes. You ca, how ever, use trasformers from other maufacturers i your plaig, by eterig their techical data as trasformer properties. SIMARIS desig curretly provides GEAFOL 4GB cast-resi trasformers for dimesioig. The techology package for Brazil cotais local trasformer data, type desigatios, ad techical data. 7.4 Low voltage switchig ad protective devices Dimesioig relies o the comprehesive low voltage product portfolio of sw itchig ad protective devices offered by Siemes. This meas, you w ill obtai a list cotaiig the specific order umbers of the devices suggested as dimesioig result. Sice the product portfolio varies from regio to regio, the specific devices w ill alw ays be determied o the basis of the portfolio that is assiged to the selected coutry settig. This may ot iclude all of the product groups listed below. The follow ig product groups are kept i SIMARIS desig: air circuit-breakers, type SENTRON 3WL, 3WN ad 3WT moulded-case circuit-breakers, type SENTRON 3VL, 3VT ad 3RV moulded-case circuit-breaker, type 3VA1 up to 160 A, 3VA2 up to 630 A circuit-breakers for motor protectio, 3VU compact feeder, 3RA6 direct starter SENTRON 3KA, 3KD, 3KE, 3KL ad 3KT sw itch discoectors ERGON sw itch discoectors S32 sw itch discoectors SENTRON 3KM sw itch discoectors w ith fuses ERGONFUSE sw itch discoectors w ith fuses SENTRON 3NP fuse sw itch discoectors SENTRON 3NJ i-lie fuse sw itch discoectors miiature circuit-breakers, type 5SJ, 5SL, 5SY, 5SX, 5SP ad 5SQ residual curret protective devices, type 5SM, 5SU ad 5SV fuse bases, type 5SD, 5SF, 5SG 3NH fuse bases 3NA fuses 5SA, 5SB, 5SC, 5SD8 ad 5SE fuse liks 5SD7 lightig ad overvoltage protectio devices 3LD2 sw itch-discoector...
