To delete a line after it has been created

[Barsha Upadhyaya]

Hello,

I have just been learning OpenDSS-G. I am creating buses and lines so far, but at times I have to delete a specific line. I am not being able to find how the lines can be deleted. I have been deleting the buses to get rid of the lines, but now, the structure is getting complex and deleting a bus would delete a lot of lines. I was not able to locate the solution for this in the manual.

Question 2 : when we create a line connecting two buses and have to add recloser/circuitbreaker, does adding the recloser replace the line that is already there?

I would much appreciate some help on it. Thank you!

Hello,

My answers as follows:

1. For deleting a line please use the "Move PDElement" tool as shown in the attachment. Them remove the line by pressing the "delete" key until the mouse cursor gets back to normal. That will remove the line from the schematic and the model.
2. No, the recloser is a control device connected to one of the line terminals, mimic the way those are installed in real life. If you go out there, you can appreciate that circuit breakers are normally pad or pole mounted, affecting only one of the line's ends. By adding this type of controller the PD element remains the same since, you are only affecting one of its terminals.

Best regards

Davis
