ATPDesigner uses node names and TACS variables to identify currents and voltages
measured in the power network. In addition currents and voltages will be calculated
based on measured signals. The number of available nodes depends on the selected
Output Signals and on the Measuring Locations used as part of the power network.
ATPDesigner supports up to 5 pre-defined Measuring Locations assigned to the
Circuit Breakers Cb1..5. The Measuring Locations can be assigned to the circuit
breakers Cb1..5 using by the user:

Open the dialog Network Configuration via

© the Right Mouse Button Menu,

© the toolbar button or
© the main menu Power Network, menu item Network Configuration.

Please select one of the entries in the combobox Measuring Location.

In the example shown above Measuring Location M1 has been assigned to the circuit
breaker Cb1, Measuring Location M2 is assigned to circuit breaker Cb2. Please note,
that e.g. Measuring Location M1 can be assigned to different circuit breakers e.g.
Cb1 or Cb2.

Note:

The Ground Compensation Factor kG is used below to calculate the phase -to-ground
fault impedances. This factor must be set in the dialog Signal Analysis Settings and is
independent of the ground compensation factors used for the Single-Circuit Lines.
Please note, that Probes can be also used to measure voltages and currents. Please
read the corresponding chapter for more information about the Node Names of
Probes.
