Complex array of currents for all conductors, all terminals, for each PD element. (API Extension)

Complex array (magnitude and angle format) of currents for all conductors, all terminals, for each PD element. (API Extension)

Array of strings consisting of all PD element names. (API Extension)

Integer array listing the number of conductors of all PD elements (API Extension)

Integer array listing the number of phases of all PD elements (API Extension)

Integer array listing the number of terminals of all PD elements (API Extension)

Complex array of powers into each conductor of each terminal, for each PD element. (API Extension)

Double array of the symmetrical component currents into each 3-phase terminal, for each PD element. (API Extension)

Double array of sequence powers into each 3-phase teminal, for each PD element (API Extension)

Number of PD elements (including disabled elements)

Get/Set Number of failures per year. For LINE elements: Number of failures per unit length per year.

Set the first enabled PD element to be the active element. Returns 0 if none found.

Number of the terminal of active PD element that is on the "from" side. This is set after the meter zone is determined.

Boolean indicating of PD element should be treated as a shunt element rather than a series element. Applies to Capacitor and Reactor elements in particular.

Failure rate for this branch. Faults per year including length of line.

Get/Set name of active PD Element. Returns null string if active element is not PDElement type.

Advance to the next PD element in the circuit. Enabled elements only. Returns 0 when no more elements.

Number of customers, this branch

Sets the parent PD element to be the active circuit element. Returns 0 if no more elements upline.

Get/Set percent of faults that are permanent (require repair). Otherwise, fault is assumed to be transient/temporary.

Average repair time for this element in hours

Integer ID of the feeder section that this PDElement branch is part of

Total number of customers from this branch to the end of the zone

Total miles of line from this element to the end of the zone. For recloser siting algorithm.

Array of doubles with the maximum current across the conductors, for each PD element. By default, only the *first terminal* is used for the maximum current, matching the behavior of the "export capacity" command. Pass `true` to force the analysis to all terminals. See also: https://sourceforge.net/p/electricdss/discussion/beginners/thread/da5b93ca/ (API Extension)

Array of doubles with the maximum current across the conductors as a percentage of the Emergency Ampere Rating, for each PD element. By default, only the *first terminal* is used for the maximum current, matching the behavior of the "export capacity" command. Pass `true` to force the analysis to all terminals. See also: https://sourceforge.net/p/electricdss/discussion/beginners/thread/da5b93ca/ (API Extension)

Array of doubles with the maximum current across the conductors as a percentage of the Normal Ampere Rating, for each PD element. By default, only the *first terminal* is used for the maximum current, matching the behavior of the "export capacity" command. Pass `true` to force the analysis to all terminals. See also: https://sourceforge.net/p/electricdss/discussion/beginners/thread/da5b93ca/ (API Extension)

Returns the low-level handle of the current OpenDSS/DSS-CAPI instance.
