Creating a New Drawing File

Step 1.
Select New Drawing File.

Step 3.
Select either the EDSA tab or the Lite
EDSA tab. Templates listed under the
Lite EDSA tab, employ icons that
utilize less memory resources than the
ones found in the EDSA Tab. Using
the Lite EDSA templates can reduce
drawing files (*.axd) by up to 80%
compared to equivalent drawings built
using the EDSA tab.

Step 2.
Complete the New Drawing
dialog box as indicated in
steps 3 & 4.

Step 5.
Select OK.

Step 4.
Select the Electrical
One-Line Industrial.axt
template.

1.2.2

Access Control / User Access Levels

After user accounts are created, users can assign access levels to specific job files for specific users. When a user
creates a new job file (either with File New or File Save As), that user is considered the manager of that new
job file. To be allowed to assign access levels to job files, the user must be a validated user. Thus, the user must
enter a password before that user can define access levels for a new job file. Obviously this means the user
account must be created by an administrator before the user can assign access privileges.
The available privilege levels for job file access are: Manager, Writer, Reader, None. Any user can be assigned
any access level to a job file. The creator of the job file is designated as a Manager. Managers can specify other
managers, or give lower levels of privilege to other users.

Managers have full access to the job file, including changing access levels for other users.
Writers can read, write, modify, and delete data in the job file.
Readers can only read data from the job file.
None means that the user cannot access the job file.

Privilege levels may be specified for as many users as the job file manager desires. These privileges specify what
access is permitted for the users, thus the list of privileges is called the Access Control list.

Step 1.
When a new job file is created, the user has
the opportunity to specify that access controls
are to be used for the job file. The user is
presented with this dialog box. The user must
then specify an existing User ID and the
respective Password.
It is important to keep in mind that this
MAY NOT be the only password for the
job-file. This is the password for the
user managing the job-file.
When done, select OK.

Creating Complex Components (File: EDM1.axd)

Lets assume that we wish to create a network symbol consisting of multiple interconnected devices (busses &
branches). Such a symbol can be a substation block that may be used on a regular basis. This section will
illustrate how to accomplish this task, such that this new symbol can be made available from a catalog menu. To
illustrate this process, file EDM1 will be used.
Step 1.
Select Open Catalog.

Step 2.
Select EDSA from within
the Solutions folder.

Step 3.

Working with Layers

The EDSA-ACTRIX interface allows the user to set up multiple drawing layers. These can be used to organize the
different types of information that are added to any given project. For example, all the icons that constitute the
single line diagram can be placed in a layer called SLD (short for Single Line Diagram). Other information such as
notes, can be place on a separate layer called NOTES. Title blocks can be placed in their own layers and so on.
The advantage of using layers is that it allows proper protection and display of different types of information
presented on the drawing. Each layer can have different properties as indicated below:
ACTIVE

Any element added to the drawing is placed by default into the Active layer. The Active layer is
designated by the user and there can only be one Active layer at a time. The Active layer status
can be re-assigned to any Layer as per the users requirements.

VISIBLE

Any layer designated as Visible, will display the objects contained therein. If the Visible command
is deselected, then these objects will become Invisible (hidden from wiew). Making a layer
Invisible does not delete the objects contained therein, it merely hides them from view.

SELECT

Makes any of the objects contained in the layer selectable.

SNAP

Allows the user to Snap to any of the objects contained in this type of layer.

COLOR

Allows the user to globally change the color of all the objects contained in the layer.

As an example, lets assume that we wanted to make the single line diagram (placed on a layer called SLD)
visible but not editable or snappable. In this case we would simply de-activate the SELECT & SNAP features on
the SLD layer while making sure that the VISIBLE feature remained active.
The next pages will explain the basic layer commands and how to use them.

Impact on
Load Flow

Motor Loads

Impact on
Short Circuit

EDSA allows the user to enter load schedules directly from the load editor. The loads entered in this fashion can
be composed of purely static loads, motor loads, or a combination of both. The reader must interpret the term
static load as a load that does not contribute to short circuit currents (Lights, heaters, etc.). The key issue here is
that when grouping different types of loads in the load schedule application, the user must specify what category
the intended schedule falls under. From the Load Flow point of view, it is quite simple since all types of loads
must be considered as demand on the system. This means that from on the Load Flow side of the load editor
they will always be considered as loads. This is clearly shown in above figure.

From the Short Circuit point of view, however, careful consideration must be given to the classification, since the
short circuit contribution of different types of motor loads is calculated according to specifically different
guidelines. The following table will guide the user on how to define the Short Circuit section of the load editor
when entering different types of combinations.

If the load combination includes

High Voltage Motors
Synchronous Motors
Induction Motors
All or any combination of the above

Select this Short Circuit Bus Code.

High Voltage Motors or Mixed Load
Synchronous Motors or Mixed Load
Induction Motors or Mixed Load

The next exercise will be based on the following example:

System Voltage:
Load Type:

480 V
Load Schedule

Loads Connected:

1.
2.

Induction Motor 1 50 HP
Heating Block
150 kW

As it can be appreciated from this example, there are a total of 2 loads that must be considered from the Load
Flow point of view, while only 1 of them will impact the Short Circuit calculations.

load growth, design modifications, etc. Often time is very
useful to save snapshots of the job file as these changes

to be archived. This exercise will be based on the single

Copying + Pasting creates another symbol of similar graphical and electrical

characteristics. This process assigns different From and To node ids for branches and
busses.
Copying + Duplicating, allows the user to place the same symbol (same id and electrical
characteristics) in many different areas of the job file. This process can only be applied to
Bus Bar symbols.
