Single Line Diagram (SLD) - KnowledgebaseKnowledgebase PDF

Single Line Diagram is circuit diagram where "one-line" is shown to represent three phases of a three phase power system. A properly drawn one-line diagram will also show an electrically correct distribution of power with respect to current flow from the power source to the downstream loads or panelboards.

THE QUESTION

How SLD(Single Line Diagram) is useful for a electrical engineer while building a
Datacenter or in general to arrive at the S.O.W

Single Line Diagram(SLD)


FOUND IN: DATACENTER

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

The below are the types of electrical diagrams ingeneral that any electrical engineer can deal with
,though I have described the single-line diagram (SLD) at length, also commonly referred as one-line
diagram
1. Block Diagrams
2. Schematic Diagrams
3. Pictorial Diagrams
4. Wiring Diagrams
5. Single-Line Diagrams
6. Other types of diagrams
The single line diagram is circuit diagram where one-line is shown to represent three phases of a
three phase power system. In addition to showing the ratings and size of electrical equipment and
circuit conductors, a properly drawn one-line diagram will also show an electrically correct
distribution of power with respect to current flow from the power source to the downstream loads or
panelboards.
Importance of Single Line Diagrams:
It is used to analyze a buildings electrical system,
Building maintenance staff and electricians rely on one-line diagrams to show them the way
around the electrical system,
Inaccuracy in this documentation and failure to update one-line diagrams on a regular basis as
electrical systems invariably grow over time often results in increased down time when system
failures occur,

Facility supervisors may use the info found in single-line diagrams to greatly enhance the
performance of service activities,
The single line diagram offers several benefits to the facility it outlines, especially:
identification of possible problem places, improved safety conformity, and enhanced staff
safety.
Construction ofSingle Line Diagrams:
Single-line diagram is a simplified notation for representing a three-phase power system;
Instead of representing each of three phases with a separate line or terminal, only one
conductor is represented.
Electrical elements such as circuit breakers, transformers, capacitors, bus bars, and conductors
are shown by standardized schematic symbols.
Elements on the diagram do not represent the physical size or location of the electrical
equipment.
On one-line power diagrams, components are usually arranged in order of decreasing voltage
levels. The highest voltage component is shown at the top right of the drawing. In order to find
out how power is supplied to a component, start at the component and trace the flow of power
backwards through the drawing. This method will be most useful in locating the correct circuit
breaker to isolate a component for maintenance
You can read the single line diagram from the top to the bottom or from left to right of the
diagram.

The one-line diagram provides the following information:

Manufacturers type designations, and ratings of devices.


Ratios of current and power transformers, taps to be used in multi-ratio transformers, and
connections of double-ratio transformers.
Rating connections of wye and delta power transformer windings
Circuit breaker ratings in volts and amperes.
The interrupting rating, type, and number of trip coils on circuit breakers.
Switch and fuse ratings in volts and amperes.
Function of relays.
The sizes, type, and number of incoming and outgoing cables.

The voltage, phase, and frequency of incoming and outgoing circuits. The available short
circuit and ground currents of the power company system, and type of ground used.
Metered points and type of metering.
The amount of the load on all feeders.
Develop a single line diagram (as per IEEE and ANSI)
to be familiar with the method of single line development by ANSI and IEEE you should know the
following items:

A- Abbreviations used for Principal Meters:

Fig (1): Abbreviations used for Principal Meters

The abbreviations used for principal meters, instruments, and other devices (not including relaying,
which is listed in Fig. 2) are listed in fig.1 above.

B-ANSI Standard Device Function Numbers

Fig (2): ANSI Standard Device Function Numbers

Each device in an automatic switching equipment has a device function number (see fig.2)
which is placed adjacent to or within the device symbol on all wiring diagrams and
arrangement drawings so that its function and operation may be readily identified.
These numbers are based on a system which was adopted as standard for Automatic
Switchgear by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI C37.2)
Three steps are used in producing a one-line diagram(as per IEEE and ANSI):
1. The preliminary one-Line diagram,
2. The partially developed diagram,
3. The developed diagram.
