An
accurate one-line diagram
is a necessity for any power
distribution system. When
a power or equipment failure
is experienced an accurate
one-line diagram can provide
crucial information necessary
in determining the problem
and reducing undesirable
downtime. Incomplete or
incorrect information on
a one-line diagram can create
confusion increasing downtime
and cost. Confusion may
lead to a dangerous environment
where personnel safety may
be compromised. A one-line
which is not updated also
makes it difficult for maintenance
personnel to locate a device
or feeder quickly.
A detailed effort through
field investigation should
be made to ensure that your
one-line diagram is entirely
representative of your power
distribution system.

Qualified
personnel can:

Evaluate
the capacity and expandability
of the power system |
|
|
Develop
operating procedures
for normal and emergency
power scenarios |

The
learning curve of maintenance
personnel may also be greatly
reduced with an accurate
up-to-date one-line diagram |
