 Move From Dumpster
• Elements can be moved from the Dumpster into
the one-line diagram with the same name IDs by
using the following methods:

1. Right-click on the one-line diagram and select

Move From Dumpster

2. Click on Edit on the Menu Bar and select “Move

From”

© 2013 ETAP & Operation Technology, Inc.

 Move From Dumpster
• Rules:

• Move From Dumpster can be done only under

“Edit” mode and “Base” revision data

• Deleted Items (element groups) must be

present in Dumpster beforehand

• IDs of the moved elements, along with the

connections, status, and properties are
preserved

© 2013 ETAP & Operation Technology, Inc.

 Move From Dumpster

• Move desired Dumpster cell group by selecting from

the Dumpster window

• Move From Dumpster capability also supported inside

Composite Networks

• Both sections of Remote Connector element must be

moved from the dumpster at the same time

• Once the Generator has been
connected and the input data
has been entered, you may
proceed to run a Load Flow
Calculation

© 2013 ETAP & Operation Technology, Inc.

 1. Extend the length of Bus1
towards the right side.

2. Copy elements T1,

Bus2, Lump1, Cable1,
T2, Bus4 and Lump2.

3. Move From Dumpster

4. Insert a normally
and connect them to
open Tie Breaker
main Bus1.
between LV-Buses

• Insert a Composite Network and connect between
4.16 kV Buses

• Open Composite Network and move elements

inside Network1 by Drag and Drop. Hold <Shift>

• Connect 5 kV cables back to system using

connection Pin

© 2013 ETAP & Operation Technology, Inc.

 • Insert HV Circuit Breakers at the indicated
locations. (Double Click to insert multiple locations)

• Insert LV Circuit Breakers inside the Composite

network and place them before the Lumped Loads

 One-Line Template
• Select All and create a One-Line Template (include the Composite network)

• Create a new Project and “Get” One-Line template created

© 2013 ETAP & Operation Technology, Inc.

 Data Block
• Create a DataBlock for Bus elements to display the following:
-Bus Name (ID) -kW Loading
-Nominal Bus kV -Voltage Drop in kV

 Circuit Arrangements

• Radial System
• Loop System
• Primary Selective System
• Secondary Selective System

© 2013 ETAP & Operation Technology, Inc.

 Radial System

• Simple or Expanded Radial

• Inverted tree
• No duplications
• Least Expensive
• Simple in operation
• Easy to analyze

© 2013 ETAP & Operation Technology, Inc.

 Loop System

• Interconnected / Open Point

• Loads are tapped of the loop
• Loop could be open or closed
• More difficult for analysis
• Reliable

© 2013 ETAP & Operation Technology, Inc.

 Primary Selective System

• Each transformer is supplied by two sources

• Normal operation is to supply half the load
from one source
• Manual or Automatic transfer of load
• Recommended

© 2013 ETAP & Operation Technology, Inc.

Primary Selective System
© 2013 ETAP & Operation Technology, Inc.
 Secondary Selective System

• Each load can be supplied from either one of

the transformers
• The tie breaker is usually normally open
• If one of the transformers is out of service, the
tie breaker is closed and the total load is
supplied by the remaining transformer
• Very reliable system
