4.7 Non-essential loads
4.7.1 Single-line diagram
You can assign a non-essential load to a GENSET, EMERGENCY genset, SHAFT generator and/or SHORE connection controller.
You
cannot
assign a non-essential load to a BUS TIE breaker controller.
To add a non-essential load trip to the single-line diagram:
1. In PICUS, under
Configure > Single-line
, drag the
NEL icon
to the right place on the single-line
diagram.
•
The controller(s) for the NEL must be in the same section as the NEL.
2. Select the NEL on the single-line diagram, and, if necessary, change its
NEL ID
,
NEL trip signal
,
New
NEL trip signal(s)
and
Label
.
•
An NEL must have the same number in all the controller(s) that it is assigned to.
◦
For example, if NEL 2 is assigned to DG 1, then that NEL is always NEL 2 in all the other
controllers that it is assigned to.
•
As long as they are in the same section, an NEL can be assigned to any or all of the available
controllers.
◦
For example, NEL 1 could be assigned to 5 GENSET controllers.
•
If there is at least one controller with space for a new NEL, there can be more than one NEL 1,
NEL 2 and/or NEL 3 in a section.
