Introduction

Electricity and Electrical EngineeringFollowing is a brief synopsis of Electrical Engineering and Design and also someguiding principles that were employed in the creation of SmartPlant Electrical.

The Electrical Distribution Network

The electrical distribution network includes all the equipment and devices used tocontrol and deliver electrical power safely and efficiently from the incoming serviceto the ultimate end users or consumers.

Equipment

The distribution network consists of:

1. Sophisticated equipment that in some cases is designed and manufactured for particular network-specific (or plant design-specific) use.

2. Standard or typical equipment that has the same characteristics from device todevice or even from project to project. SmartPlant Electrical has the ability tohandle both cases. One advantage the user will discover about SmartPlantElectrical is that the typical data need only be entered once and then copied asneeded to other similar devices. Both typical and copied items of equipment willhave specific parameters defined in the course of the design and recorded on the

project documents and drawings. The equipment includes (but is not limited to):

Incoming utility feeders

Generators

Substations

Switchgear

Motor Control Centers

Local Control Equipment

Motors

Cables

Low Voltage Distribution Panels

Lighting


Heaters


11/238

Introduction

Electrical Engineering and Design

Involves the design of those electrical parameters and equipment that make up thedistribution and utilization network. Part of the design is also involved with correctlyassembling all the pieces to form a cohesive and robust system (with calculatedresults) to fill the current needs of the client as well as providing for future expansion.

This design is all handled in a framework of recognized Codes (National and Local),Standards, and Accepted Practices. Another important function of electrical design isto develop and record accurate calculations related to specific electrical and physical

phenomena that the engineer/designer uses daily. These design activities and theresulting design documents are ultimately used to:

Provide safety and adherence to codes, client requirements, and soforth.

Provide the contractor with direction and materials related needsduring construction.

Provide documentation to the particular facilitys technical librariesfor future reference, and so forth.

Documentation

These engineering and design activities are presented to the facility and to thecontractor in a variety of documents. Some of these documents will only be usedduring construction, however, some will form a part of the facilitys technical library.Some of these documents will include (but not be limited to):

Single Line Diagrams

Cable Schedules

Material Take-offs and Reports Equipment List

Electrical Load Lists

WorkflowSmartPlant Electrical does not force a particular workflow, and thee are several waysto perform the required design. SmartPlant Electrical has been designed to create andenter data or entities in a series of stand-alone operations. These operations can be

performed in sequences that suit the users needs.

Some of the major issues with which SmartPlant Electrical development wasconcerned were:


1. The very real assumption that current contracts are short in the Electrical Index duration and that accurate and efficient tools are required to maintain the datainvolved.


12/238

Introduction

2. The design process is never a one time through operation and that changes dooccur at any point during the life cycle of the design process.

3. SmartPlant Electrical users need a mechanism whereby they can set up defaultinformation once and re-use it during the course of the project and in future

projects as well.

Smart Plant Electrical ModulesEI Electrical Index

The Electrical Index is the module where you create and store project-specificequipment and data. Logging into a SmartPlant Electrical project or plant will grantyou accessing your tags and relations as per your granted access rights set by yourAdministrator. The Electrical Index will present the tags that belong to the entire

plant or specifically the ones of the lowest plant group (for example, Unit), based onyour settings.

To view all plant items, on the View menu, select the option Show Items of All PlantGroups (when selected, a check mark appears beside the option as shown),otherwise, to see only those items that belong to the current unit, deselect this option.

EE Electrical Engineer

The Electrical Engineer is the module where graphical representations of Equipmentand Associations are stored.

RDE Reference Data Explorer

The RDE is the module where you create and store reference (or generic) equipmentand data. This equipment and data can later be used as seed data to populate project-specific electrical equipment in the Electrical Index . The more that is invested in

properly preparing the generic data or defaults the greater the savings will beduring the course of the current project and on future projects.

Units of Measurement

The Units of Measurement select lists are different from other select

lists. The user cannot modify the values because they have associatedconversions and calculations.

When the user selects one of these fields, such as 0.0 hp, 0.0 hp willappear in the window and the user can then type in the required value.

The default unit of measure for a particular property is set in the DataDictionary.


Calculated Properties


21/238


Reference Properties

Property that points to a path, such as the symbol name that contains the pathto a symbol used in the SLD

Select Lists

All select lists are not fully customizable by the users, but users are allowed a largedegree of latitude in the ability to modify the lists to according to requirements:

The user will not be able to delete any value from a populated select list


The user will be able to hide any value (or prevent it from appearing when the selectlist is opened during operation).


22/238


The user will be able to rename any value (for example, to another language).

The user will be able to create additional values in any select list.

The user must have access to the Data Dictionary to customize the select lists. Someof this access will be determined by whether the user is logged in as an administratoror as a user and/or if the user has been granted access (more on this later). Thee arealso some differences associated with Unit of Measurement select lists.

The Select Set

Note

A Select Set is a temporary set and will not be saved after user moves to anotheraction.

1. Select the Motor folder in the Electrical Index or the Reference Data Explorer .You will see all the motors listed in the bottom pane.

2. Select the required motors from list view pane.

3. In the Properties grid window pick the Select Set.


Note: all of the motors that were picked in the bottom pane are also listed in the properties screen.


23/238


Whatever change is made to one property (with Select Set selected) it will apply to allitems that are included in the Select Set.

When a select set is chosen, a value will appear only if all the items share the same

value.

Item counter in the Electrical Index or the Reference Data Explorer

The counter of the selected items exists in the bottom left part of the SmartPlant Electricalwindow.The counter displays when highlighting a folder

Electrical Loads (Consumers)


Entering engineering values using the Common Properties entry form.


24/238


Note : Rated power property, varies and depend on the type of electrical equipment. For all type of equipment it has units of measure type of property, while for Motors it is a select list.

Motor FormIn the Electrical Index , select M-1 that you already created. Press Ctrl + F2 to invoke the Electrical MotorCommon Properties form.

General TabEntering general data like description, manufacturer, model, motor type and frame size.

Data quality field enables you to qualify the status of the data of this motor.

Conformity to Standard, allows you to specify the standard for electrical calculations when youassociate a power cable with the motor.

Load Data TabDependencies and workflow, fill in the required fields to see it in work.

The fields that are marked with asterisks (*) are required fields. If you do not enter data for thesefields, the software does not calculate certain important values.

To obtain the demand factor, on the Load Data tab, you should fill in values for Rated power and Brake power (consistency of units is not mandatory, you may enter mixed hp and kWvalues). The software also validates that the brake power does not exceed the rated power value.


Select a value for Rated voltage and let the system calculate the value for Full load current (this property appears on the Electrical Data tab).


25/238


To obtain the synchronous speed, you should enter values for the Frequency , Poles , and Supply properties. The software validates that the asynchronous speed never exceeds the synchronousspeed.

Select an operating mode to enter the coincidence factor of that motor

To get the Power factor and Efficiency values at demand you need to enter the Electrical Index values at 50%, 75%, and 100% of operation.

We will see later that thee is a better way to populate these values using lookup tables.

Electrical Data tab

calculations behind these calculated fields.

Once you have entered all the previous values on the Load Data tab the software calculates allthree vectors of the electrical consumption from the bus that feeds this motor.

The full load current can be the Electrical Index the calculated or entered manually, dependingon the Override FLA Calculation flag. If it is set to Calculate , the values are calculated usingthe rated power, power factor at 100%, rated voltage, number of phases and according to whether

the supply isAC or DC.


Observe the relation between the FLA, LRC, and the Electrical Index ratio.


26/238


Controls & Signals Tab

Provides optional information for control stations that control the motor operation, and controlsand signals for the motor.



27/238


Instruments Tab

Displays instruments that monitor and control the motor operation.

Feeder Data Tab

Enables you to view and assign a feeder (provided an association to a feeder circuit does not yetexist). Once an association is made, the only way of dissociating a motor from its feeder circuitis in the Electrical Engineer.

On this tab, you can:

Pre assign the Motor to a PDB and to a bus without actually creating feeder circuits

Assign and Create feeder circuits on the fly, based on the last applied typical circuit

Once the Motor is assigned to a Feeder circuit you will see the actual components in that circuitshown in the Internals grid.


Feeder equipment , displays the name of the equipment other than feeders that the load is fedfrom. Such equipment can be a transformer's secondary, variable speed drive and so forth.


28/238


The last tab is the Alternate Feeder tab, showing the second power source that may be feeding thismotor, in case thee is such:

Static Loads, Heater Equipment FormIn this session you learn about all the various properties that may be edited or viewed for Staticloads, using the forms and the Electrical Index behavior under various circumstances. Thecorresponding editing functionality using property grid will be mentioned


The function of the various tabs is very much the same as for the motor except for few minordifferences due to the fact that static loads are not rotating, therefore properties such as brake

power, LRC power factor, synchronous and asynchronous speeds, and so forth, do not apply.


29/238


Heater Common PropertiesGeneral Tab

Very similar to motors

Load Data Tab - calculated fields

Notes: Rated power for these types of loads is not a select list but rather a property with engineering units. Each type of static load has its owncategory of units of measure. For example, heaters have Power, whereas capacitors and harmonic filters have Reactive power, etc. The demandfactor, power factor, and efficiency at demand are manual entries rather than calculated values.

Create new heater H-1.

Electrical Data tab

Calculations behind these calculated fields.


The calculated electrical properties are very similar to those for motors.

Power Distribution Board PDBs and the related internal associated items play a major role in the design of anelectrical distribution network. A PDB usually is a confined enclosure that containsthe necessary electrical internal equipment that will accept and distribute power from

power sources to loads or other secondary distribution PDBs.

While all types of PDBs behave the same (SmartPlant Electrical wise) thee aredifferent names for these PDs, based on what load they supply and what functionthey serve in the electrical network. The following terms are used in a mixed way inthe various regions and countries:

Switchgear, PDB that supplies power to other lower voltage PDBs such as MCCS

Load Center is a PDB that distributes power to MCCs

MCC (Motor Control Center) is a PDB that supplies power mainly to motorsSwitchboard is usually a PDB that delivers power to small loads such as lightingfixtures and low voltage circuit breaker distribution boards

PDBs accept power (current under specific voltage levels) from power sources suchas generators, UPS, battery banks, other PDBs, transformers, etc.

PDBs deliver power (current under specific voltage levels) to loads and to otherPDBs.

PDBs accept power through incomer circuit that are connected to internal physical

metal buses (copper or other conducting material)PDBs deliver power through internal feeder circuits that connect to the internal

buses

Internal buses of a PDB can supply power to each other (a circuit in a bus is a feederto another bus). These type of feeder circuits are called bus couplers and theyconnect to circuits that contain bus risers that receive the power and transfer the

power to the bus

Design of PDB Layout General ArrangementSmartPlant Electrical enables to design the cabinet layout of Power DistributionBoards that have cells defined. The cabinet layout can be viewed, printed and savedas document and deliverable; you can revise it - with both the graphical presentationof the distribution and location of the various cells and also an embedded report of thedata for the cells and the loads and circuits that are contained within these cells.

The following features are supported:

Define the structure of PDB in terms of:

Number of vertical sections (maximum allowable is 30).

Number of horizontal rows (maximum allowable is 15).

Number of compartments (subdivisions).

Position in PDB can be further subdivided (maximum allowable is 4 by 4).

Define the naming conventions for the sections and rows, those will be used foridentifying the cells position within the PDB

Drag and drop cells from the Index to layout.

Move cell from one position to another.

Place a cell.


Select cell you want to place from the Electrical Index and drag it to the PD Layout.


57/238


Issue a report of the PDB Layout with the relevant data of the internal configurationand design.



58/238


The following rules apply on designing a PDB Layout:

Once the number of sections, rows, number of vertical/horizontal compartmentshave been defined, any

attempt to modify these settings will result (after a warning) in a complete cell-compartment reset and un

assignment (in case no cell has been assigned no harm will be caused)

The only exception is that the user is able to add sections to the right side of thePDB (by increasing the

number of section in the property grid by the use of the ellipsis)

The origin point of each and every compartment is its left upper point. This meansthat any change of

compartment size is referenced to that point.

A compartment may be enlarged to its right or to its bottom only (a left most

compartment in a vertical section can only be enlarged to its right or to any free spaceavailable down).

A compartment cannot be enlarged to a part of an adjacent compartment; youchange its size to occupy the entire right side adjacent compartment size.

A compartment cannot exceed the boundaries of a section


A compartment can exceed the boundaries of a row.

Wiring Equipment

PanelsCabinets

Serves as placeholder for panels that will be retrieved as loads.

Cabinets have Common Properties form with 3 tabs, General tab, Electrical data and Feeder tab.In the electrical tab the user will be able to define its power consumption in Watts or Kilowattsand the system will calculate the current as for any other load.


Cabinets may be connected to feeder circuits and buses as any other load, the Electrical Index the by dragging them over to buses or feeder circuits or from the Feeder data tab in the Common properties form.


63/238


You create cabinets in the Electrical Index or EE.

Control StationsLocal or remote panels that contain the control elements (start-stop push buttons)activated manually by the person operating the plant. You can create such controlstations with or without associated cables.

Control stations can be created in one of 3 ways:

Manually, by select Control Station folder and select New ControlStation

Automatically, as part of the creation process initiated from the ApplyProfile option or Apply Control station tab of the Apply Options.


Copy from the Reference Data Explorer .


64/238


A control station can be associated to a project cable (cable category should becontrol, ground or instrument), and/or to a load.

A control station may have more than one cable, but it can have one load associated

only.Once a cable is associated to a control station, the control station becomes the toside reference of that cable.

When the creation of the control station is a result of an automated process asdescribed above, the association is created as part of the automation process, both tothe cable and to the load.

In case the control station is created manually, the user is responsible for theseassociations.

Local Panels and Junction Boxes


Local Panel


65/238


Cabinets containing circuit, equipment, and wiring items, used for example, to provide switchingor isolation close to a motor.

Junction Boxes

Cabinets used to connect wires that run between various items of electrical equipment.

Note: In contrast to Power Distribution Boards (PDBs), local panels and junction boxes are much smaller in size and do not contain busbars.

CablesSmart Plant Electrical specifies the following cable categories according to the

purpose of the cable:


Power, control, grounding, and instrument. The software supports compliance withthe strict regulations governing cable definitions by using standard reference cables asa basis for all the cables that you create in your project. Reference cables containtechnical cable data such as voltage rating, ampacity, resistivity, cable material, anddata relating to the construction of the cable. For this reason, you must initially create


66/238


all your reference cables in the Reference Data Explorer . The software allows youto organize your reference cables in families known as cable specifications. Whenyou select a reference cable to use as a basis for your project cable, you must selectthe appropriate cable category and cable specification for the reference cable. Also,when you size project cables, the software looks for the appropriate reference cable

based on a particular cable specification and conductor arrangement.

Typical I/O Set

When applying any of these options, the user has to select the enable check box found in thedialog. Only one is allowed at a time (checking the flag on one tab resets any previously checkedflag).You can define the applied set of tags the Electrical Index the in the lower pane of theElectrical Index window by making multiple selections or in the Tabular Editor by highlightinga subset of tags from the table.

Apply Lookup TablesApplying look up tables may result in overwriting project data. One should be aware of this. Theright timing on whether and when to commit this operation is an engineering decision and would

be based on your project state and your workflow.

You should make sure that the tags that have been selected for this operation have the key fields populated with data that will be recognized by your look up tables, otherwise, data will not be populated.



94/238


Apply Typical CircuitThe purpose of this feature is to have a powerful way of the Electrical Index the to create newcircuits and internals or to replace existing circuits or internals.

Applying typical circuit on item will not create the internal components if the item is not yetassociated with a circuit. In this case, only a reference to the typical circuit is maintained. Youcan verify which typical circuit is assigned to a item by opening the Feeder Data tab of theitem.

Circuit internals (also, typical circuit internals) must have a unique sequence (order) property,

which determine the Electrical Index power path in the Electrical Engineer . Applying a typicalcircuit on an item must preserve the electrical relations (if existed before) between the lastinternal component in the circuit and any other external object that was associated before(usually this would be a cable).

Applying typical circuits is available upon selecting single or multiple items.

The following are the various options for applying the typical circuit work correctly on theselected set or multiple items you have highlighted.

All Items Applies the profile to all the selected items.

Items with no typical circuit Applies the profile only to items without an existing profile. Usethis option to add a profile only to new items among the items that you selected.

Items with a different typical circuit from the selection Changes the profile of the selecteditems to the current profile. Use this option to add a profile to items with a modified profiledefinition.


Items with the same profile as the selection Updates an existing profile for the selected items.


95/238


Clear last applied typical circuit makes it possible to clear pre associated typical circuits.

The actual project items are created as per the typical circuit (you need to associate the load witha PDB Bus and Cell in order to create them)

When applying a typical circuit on loads that have electrical associations, associations are kept.

Guidelines and rules:

1. When assigning typical circuits, the system checks and prompts in case ofdiscrepancy between the reference typical of the load and the circuit we are tryingto associate it to. In case of a batch, the user is the decision-maker and he has theoption to choose the scenario. No prompt will be issued in the batch apply. TheApply will govern and not the circuit.(still, the rules will govern- in case theeare some motors that were not applied a non all items has been successfullycommitted message will be issued)

2. Associating a motor to a circuit that has no internals will result in creating the

actual internals if thee is a reference in the motor. If not, it will not generateanything. Internals will be created once the profile is applied on the load. Theform of the load/motor will be updated to show this typical circuit.

3. Trying to associate a motor with a typical circuit on a circuit (the ElectricalIndex the by the drag and drop or applying a profile) that has different type oftypical defined within it, will be preceded with a message: "Load and circuitinternals are different- do you wish do override circuit internals? Yes orCancel will tell the system how to proceed. If yes, the system will replace, as inthe apply profile the internals of that circuit.

Reapplying a Typical CircuitTypical circuits will replace the existing internal circuits and the Electrical Index components with the Reference Data Explorer components that constitute thetypical circuit. Any existing electrical relations and association will be kept and

preserved (so the Electrical Engineer will not be affected).

It will be up to the designer to make sure that what he is doing is right.

Apply Control Station

Applying control stations on loads will add new control stations and the ElectricalIndex cables or replace existing control stations (and the Electrical Index cables)associated with the loads.


The control stations associated with a load can be seen in the Control & Signals tabof the load. This identifies the project control stations associated with the load. Youcan identify to which load the control station belongs to and what are the cables thatare associated to it by opening the control station property dialog.


96/238


Note: When reapplying control stations you should expect:

Existing control stations and the Electrical Index cables should be replaced or addedaccording to the checked options (old control stations and the Electrical Index cablesdeleted)

Cable associations, if existed, should REMAIN (we are talking of control cablesassociated to control station- any new stations will be new and any replacements willresult in replacing the cables + stations

Control stations and the Electrical Index cables will be replaced by the new set ofcontrol stations and the Electrical Index cables. Any associations and relations ofthese items will remain as before, the To and From relations of the cables will betransferred to the new control stations and the cables. Any additional control stationcable will have its To side associated to the control station and its From side will benot assigned.

Apply Typical Schematic


This option is used when you need to specify a typical schematic or to modify theassociated typical schematics of a group of loads The user may associate typicalschematics also to loads, converting equipment, circuits, disconnect electrical

equipment, generators, battery banks and buses.
