The In/Out Of Service | Take Out of Service command in the Main Window lets you take a piece of equipment out of service. This command, when applied to a bus, will take all of the attached equipment out of service. Unlike deleted equipment, out-of-service equipment remains part of the one-line diagram and can be put back in service at any time even after the current session has ended. (Note: A session ends when you issue the New, or the Open, or the Import, or the Exit command under the File menu.) To execute this command you must first select a piece of equipment.
TO TAKE A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT OUT OF SERVICE:
1. Select a branch, generator, load, shunt or bus.
Click the left button once on the symbol of the piece of equipment you want to take out of service.
The symbol will turn dotted red when selected.
2. Select the Network | In/Out Of Service | Take Out Of Service command.
The selected equipment will be taken out of service and the symbol will be drawn with a dotted black line.
