e-DPP ( electrical - Data Processing Program )

Basic Training Guide

Eltechs Engineering & Consulting Co., Ltd. of 87 Ver.3.0.0


e-DPP (electrical - Data Processing Program) has been developed with technical cooperation from major engineering

companies. The abundant knowledge and experience of these companies that have been cultivated from the actualexecution of the design, construction and operation of various overseas and domestic projects were condensed in e-DPP.

e-DPP supports your design and coherent engineering work flow from the initial design stage up to material

procurement and field commissioning.

This guide was prepared for new users (beginners) to quickly understand the basic functions and operations of e-DPPusing the “Example” Project that comes with the software.

For more detailed information and operations, please refer to the separate document "e-DPP User Guide".

7. Load Summary

The following system has been pre-configured. e-DPP currently supports a radial system only.

See notes

Notes:

1. < top > is an imaginary element in e-DPP. It represents the power source of the electrical system (radial). It can only beconnected to one bus (the main supply power bus) or one switchboard (the main supply power switchboard) in eachconfiguration. The ID “< top >” is case sensitive and it has space between “<” and “t” and between “p” and “>”.

2. SG-01 is a dummy bus. This bus is necessary since there are two upstream buses, SG-01A and SG-01B and the imaginary

element < Top > cannot be connected to more than one bus as mentioned in note 1.

7.3 Load Summary Calculation

Load summary calculation can be executed “Bus” or “Switchboard” base. “Bus” base load summary calculates the total

load “bus wise” as if the CB-Tie of the multi-ended switchboards is open. Whereas “Switchboard” base load summary

calculates the total loads “switchboard wise” as if the CB-Tie of the multi-ended switchboards is close. For switchboardwith one bus only, the result of the load summary in “Bus” base and “Switchboard” base calculation are equal.

In the following procedure, only the “Bus” base load summary calculation will be considered. The target of calculationmay be the “All Buses” or “One Bus” only.

7.3.1 “All Buses” Load Summary

The “All Buses” option, as the title implies calculates the loading of all buses at once. Under this option you may alsoconsider the loading of each bus based on the directly connected loads or including the indirectly connected loads fromthe downstream switchboard(s) (Roll-up).

and “Yes” button to the subsequent dialog window to confirm the deletion.

Note: When the table is deleted, the Motor Voltage Class returns to “LV-1 (3ph)”. Select again “MV-1”.

iii. In the “Material Types” frame, specify the cable specification as indicated on the image:

iv. To calculate the minimum cable size, enter the following and then click the “Calc” button.

Conductor Type = Copper

Standard = IEC

Insulation Material = XLPE

Fault Clearing Time = 0.05 sec (assume CLF device will be used to protect the cable)

Fault Current = 25 kA

The result of the calculation is 39.37 mm2.

When the “MV-1” voltage class has been selected, the “Minimum Size Calculation By Fault Current” frame

becomes active. This frame contains the 3rd criterion for sizing cable. In MV application, the use of smaller sizecable is technically possible because the operating current is generally small and the voltage drop and ampacitylimitation will allow such use. However, in the event of short circuit fault the cable may melt. Therefore, it is also

necessary to verify if the cable can withstand the destructive energy of the short circuit current.

v. Click “Edit” button. The “Minimum Cable Sizes – Edit” will be displayed.

On the “Minimum Cable Sizes –Edit” dialog window (see image on next page), notice the minimum sizeof the cable for the entire range of the kW rating is “50 mm2”.

9. Cable Schedule & Summary

9.1 Cable ScheduleIn Section 4, Power, SH, LCS, and CCR cables where created for each load and in Section 8 the power cables were sized.

These cables reside in the “Electrical Load Schedule”. Let’s export these cables to the Cable Schedule.

(1) On the main menu, select “Data Filling Cables…”.

(2) On the “Data Filling – Cable Schedule” dialog window, do the following:

a. In the “Target Cables” frame, check all the checkboxes. This means that all the Power, CCR, LCS, and SHcables from the Electrical Load Schedules are subject for export to the “Cable Schedule”

b. In the “Cable ID – Naming Convention” frame, do the following:

i. Select “Transfer IDs from Electrical Load Schedule” option

ii. Select “A,B,C (PM-1200A-P “A”)” in the “Suffix for Parallel Cables” sub-frame

iii. Select “R,S,T (PM-1200A-P1“R”) in the “Suffix for Single Core Cables” sub-frame

Note: In the Electrical Load Schedule, power cable IDs already exist. The selected option in “i” above will transfer these

IDs as they are in the Cable Schedule. However, if there are parallel cables and/or single-core cables in the former, thecable IDs of such will be refined to identify each physical cable with unique ID since the Electrical Load Schedule treats the

ID of a parallel cable (and/or single-core cable) common to each physical cable. In the cable schedule, each physicalcable should be assigned with ID. The sub-options “ii” and “iii” will handle the refinement.

For example, in the Electrical Load a 2 x 3/C parallel cable will be given ID “M-1234P” only. However, the 2 x 3/C cable is

actually composed of 2 physical cables. In the Cable schedule, these two physical cables will be assigned with ID say“M-1234P-1”, and “M-1234P-2”.

c. Leave the options in the “Data Mapping” frame as they are. The mapping dictates which fields to be exportedfrom the Electrical Load Schedule to the Cable Schedule and to which fields in the later the fields in the formermust be assigned.

AllCopper 3.6/6kVAllAllAllAll

Notice the “List of Cable Specification” in the list box. The cables were filtered. Only the cables shown here

will be scheduled to the drum(s).

(b) In the “Geographical Criteria” frame, select the following in order of “Top to button”:

ONSITEAllAllAllAll

The above selection means that the cables (if any) located in the ONSITE area regardless of their specific location

within the said area will be taken into consideration.

(c) In the “Scheduling Scope” frame, select “Only cables without drum no” and check the “Includeexisting drums”.

Actually any of the two options (All cables …. or Only Cables ….) does not matter at this time since this is the first

attempt to do the drum scheduling. The sub-option “Include existing drums” means that if any of the existingdrums has abundant spare, the spare will be allotted to the unscheduled cables. For example, if a certain drum hasa spare of 300m cable and three unscheduled cables has length of 120m, 135m, and 180m respectively. The first

2 cables i.e. with 120m and 135m length will be schedule to the drum while the 3rd cable will be schedule to a newdrum since it cannot fit to the existing drum anymore.

(d) In the “Orphan Control” frame, check “Substations” option.

In step “(a)” above, “All” has been selected in the “Substation” drop down list. This means that all the cables

within the “ONSITE” area regardless which substation they belong will be scheduled. The orphan control“Substation” option, however, will organize the scheduling by substation wise. For example, the cables that

belong to Substation A will be placed to Drum A(s), the cables that belong to substation B will be placed to DrumB(s), and so on.
