Substation Bus Work

 

Description

The Bus Work components are specialized overhead line components, which model hollow pipe conductors.  Bus Work components are used in exactly the same manner as the regular Overhead Line Towers.  Each hollow conductor represents a single conductor, where the maximum in a single cross-section is 30.

Enter a descriptive name for the Bus, such as the actual bus number of your system

 

 

 

 

 

Bus Height Above Ground

 

REAL

Literal

Enter the height to the centre point of the conductor closest to the ground plane [m]

 

 

 

 

 

Relative X Position of Bus Centre on Right of Way

Conductor Outer Radius

 

REAL

Literal

Enter the outer radius of the conductor [m]

 

 

 

 

 

Conductor Thickness

 

REAL

Literal

Enter the conductor thickness (i.e. outer radius minus inner radius [m]
