BUS | MERGE BUSES COMMAND

The Bus | Merge Buses command in the Main Window lets you merge two buses into one.  The buses being merged must have the same nominal kV. This command is the Split | Bus command in reverse.

TO MERGE BUSES USING THE MOUSE:

1a. Drag and drop the first bus on the second bus of the same nominal kV.

Hold down the <Ctrl> key and drag the first bus over the second bus. Release the mouse button when the second node turns dotted red.

After the buses are merged, the bus you dragged will no longer exist. All its equipment will be attached to the merged bus.

TO MERGE BUSES USING MENU COMMAND:

1b. Align the two buses.

Drag the first bus until its symbol is aligned with that of the second bus symbol.

2b. Select the two buses.

Click the left mouse button once on the first bus.  Then, with the <Shift> key held down, click the left button once on the bottom bus.

Both bus symbols will turn dotted red when selected. 

3b. Select the Network | Bus | Merge Buses command.

Note: This command is dimmed and cannot be activated if the two buses being merged have different nominal kVs.

The first bus will be merged into the second bus.
