SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM (SLD) Or, ONE 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: Incoming lines showing voltage and size Incoming main fuses, cutouts, switches, and main/tie breakers Power transformers (rating, winding connection and grounding means) Feeder breakers and fused switches rating and type. Relays (function, use and type) Current and / or potential transformers with size, type and ratio Control transformers rating. All main cable and wire runs with their associated isolating switches All substations, including integral relays and main panels with total load of each feeder and each substation Critical equipment voltage and size (UPS, battery, generator, power distribution, transfer switch, computer room air conditioning) A summary load schedule for the LT switchgear panel. A load schedule for each distribution panels and switch board. Rating and dimension of bus bar. All outgoing cables with cable size and type with rating and type of their associated isolating switches (e.g. circuit breaker). Length and voltage drop of all outgoing cables. Rating of PFI , changeover, ATS, generators with associated protection and isolating switch All earthing cable rating (size, type etc.) All connected load with their individual load capacity. All spare switches (outgoing circuit breaker) shall be mentioned. Earthing system must be included with dimension of earthing pit, boring, earth electrode size, earth lead and ECC cable size and type. Here is given an example of a typical LT panel one line diagram or Single line diagram (try to follow it as best as possible).

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:

• Incoming lines showing voltage and size • Incoming main fuses, cutouts, switches, and main/tie breakers • Power transformers (rating, winding connection and grounding means) • Feeder breakers and fused switches rating and type. • Relays (function, use and type) • Current and / or potential transformers with size, type and ratio • Control transformers rating. • All main cable and wire runs with their associated isolating switches • All substations, including integral relays and main panels with total load of each feeder and

each substation • Critical equipment voltage and size (UPS, battery, generator, power distribution, transfer

switch, computer room air conditioning) • A summary load schedule for the LT switchgear panel. • A load schedule for each distribution panels and switch board. • Rating and dimension of bus bar. • All outgoing cables with cable size and type with rating and type of their associated isolating

switches (e.g. circuit breaker). • Length and voltage drop of all outgoing cables. • Rating of PFI , changeover, ATS, generators with associated protection and isolating switch • All earthing cable rating (size, type etc.) • All connected load with their individual load capacity. • All spare switches (outgoing circuit breaker) shall be mentioned. • Earthing system must be included with dimension of earthing pit, boring, earth electrode size,

earth lead and ECC cable size and type. Here is given an example of a typical LT panel one line diagram or Single line diagram (try to follow it as best as possible).
