In the Connection dialog you specify the data for a connection. The dialog will automatically pop-up when connecting nodes with a different number of phases. Double click on a connection to show the dialog otherwise. Connection can be drawn by left clicking on nodes or vertical/horizontal connections. In the latter case the new connection will inherit the properties of the existing connection.

Description |
# Phases: |
This is the number of phases of the connection. Values 1 to 26 are supported. Transpositions can only occure through a 3-phase connection. The number of phases is reflected in the connection thickness and restricted upwards to 3 pixels. A connection with n phases connected to a node of m phases where n<>m will actually connect the first min(n,m) phases. |
Phase index: |
For single phase connections this the phase number actually carried by the connection. Specify 0-@ for a connection in a single phase circuit (no phase extension). Legal values 0 to 26. A connected component will receive it's phase directly from the nearest connection without any test on the phase index of other connections in series. The phase index is overruled by the SPLITTER. |
Color: |
Specify the standard color of the connection. Optionally the Voltage (kV) can also be specified and in this case the Power System colors are used (View|View options/PS colors). |
Label: |
The label shown on screen is as default the phase index. Rotation according to arrow button. |
Visible: |
Check this button to display the label on screen. |
Hide: |
Check this button to hide the connection. It will then effectively be disconnected. Assign Variable>0 to Hide or Hide checked. |
Node dot 1 |
Force node dot on for node 1. Disable the node size effect for this node (see status bar). |
Node dot 2 |
Force node dot on for node 2. |
kV Applies only to 3-phase connections. Set to something different from zero to apply the View|Options/PS Color options. |
