Resource Node & Meter Mapping Verification form 20

General Info 21 The one-lines are provided for two reasons – one to verify the accuracy of the meter and unit location on the one-line; the second as a tool to verify the mapping. Each node and meter will have reference “Connections”. Each item listed in the connection column will refer to all equipment electrically connected to the node or meter point. These connections are represented as [CB]1234 or [XFMR]U1 and are shown on the one-line screenshots. The connections column identifies the equipment type by offsetting the type in brackets, such as [CB]1234, where [CB] refers to the equipment type Circuit Breaker. The list below identifies the common equipment types : o [XFMR] Transformer o [CB] Circuit breaker o [DSC] Disconnect (switch) o [UN] Generation Unit o [LN] Line o [LD] Load o [SERIES] Series Device o [SVC] Static-Var  Note: Transformer naming convention in GENMAP pkg is power transformer concatenation and may not match names provided in the RARF. The one-line screenshot uses several colors to define the operating voltage of the equipment and buses represented. The list below identifies the voltages associated with each color: o Purple: 345kV o Green: 138kV o Blue: 69kV o Pink: Other voltages
