Removing a DISABLED Condition
To re-enable the ATO switch:
1. Open the Control Tool for the disabled ATO switch (that is, one that has the DISABLED condition).
2. Click Enable ATO. The DISABLED condition will disappear from the ATO switch.
Once both ATO switches are enabled, the system will once again set the ATO switches to their correct positions, based on the energization.
Disabling Network Protectors
ADMS Projects that include the "smart" modeling of network protectors will benefit from power flow results that detect the trip and/or reclose conditions on network protectors. In these scenarios, the ADMS engine will trip or reclose the device as appropriate. However, the Network Protectors can be placed in partially/fully disabled in the field and the NMS supports this through the use of "Manual" and "Disabled" modes.
• In Manual mode, a network protector will only trip, but never reclose.
• In Disabled mode, a network protector will not operate at all.
For SCADA driven Network Protectors, that is those with a SCADA open/close status point, Manual and Disabled modes only affect Study mode behavior and Feeder Load Management forecasts.
For non-SCADA driven Network Protectors - that is those without a SCADA open/close status point; Manual and Disabled modes also affect real-time behavior.
