Design Optimization - Electrical Performance Parameters

These parameters determine performance properties for a transformer. These parameters are visible in Design Optimization when Set Design Parameters is selected under the expanded Design Configuration category and you are viewing the Electric Policy Settings tab. An administrator can set the default values for those fields in DesignAutomationConfig.xml.

Browse to the ArcFM Solution\Bin directory and open DesignAutomationConfig.xml with any text editor (e.g., Notepad). Edit the XML that corresponds with the Cartographic Offset Parameter for which you want to set the default value.

MaxTransformerLoadFactorPercent: This value determines the maximum amount (percentage) a transformer can be overloaded. Look for the following XML and modify the highlighted value.
```
    <Property name="MaxTransformerLoadFactorPercent" type="System.Double">120</Property>
    
```
MaxVoltageDropPercent: This value indicates the maximum amount (percentage) of voltage drop allowed. Look for the following XML and modify the highlighted value.
```
    <Property name="MaxVoltageDropPercent" type="System.Double">5.0</Property>
    
```
MaxVoltageFlickerPercent: This value indicates the maximum amount (percentage) of voltage flicker allowed. Look for the following XML and modify the highlighted value.
```
    <Property name="MaxVoltageFlickerPercent" type="System.Double">4.0</Property>
    
```
