Electrical Single line diagram

 The single-line diagram is the blueprint for electrical system analysis. It is the first step in preparing a critical response plan, allowing you to become thoroughly familiar with the electrical distribution system layout and design in your facility

 Why it’s required?

Whether you have a new or existing facility, the single-line diagram is the vital roadmap for all future testing, service and maintenance activities. As such, the single-line diagram is like a balance sheet for your facility and provides a snapshot of your facility at a moment in time. It needs to change as your facility changes to ensure that your systems are adequately protected.

To make all the changes documented in a common file, making the electrical system easily understandable for any technical person inside/outside of the factory.

An up-to-date single-line diagram is vital for a variety of service activities including:

• Short circuit calculations
• Coordination studies
• Load flow studies
• Safety evaluation studies
• All other engineering studies
• Electrical safety procedures
• Efficient maintenance

What Should Be In A Single Line Diagram (SLD)?

A typical package of single line diagram shall include:

SLD must be started with an index, legend, page references.

All proper symbols shall be used.

Incoming lines showing voltage and size.

Incoming main fuses, cutouts, switches, and main/tie breakers.

Power transformers (kVA rating, voltage rating, winding connection and grounding

means, % impedance, cooling type).

Feeder breakers and fused switches rating and type.

All incoming circuits shall have a page reference (mention the page number from where

it comes). All outgoing panels shall have a page reference (mention the page number to where this outgoing circuit is detailed-This link-up is required).
