What is Multiline Diagram?

The multiline diagrams are representations of many systems, such as

  • Electric,

  • Fluid, and others,

And include all relevant details, such as

  • Terminals,

  • All phases,

  • Power and

  • Control system, and so on.

Multiline diagram is also called as three-line diagram, as it illustrates the connections to each component as well as displaying each individual circuit. In addition to that, each and every electrical component that is important to the system is depicted in this diagram.

As a result of this, an exhaustive multi-line diagram may be used to the process of compiling a bill of the materials for the electrical system. Each of the components that is included in the multi-line diagram has the potential to be given a characteristic that corresponds to a specific line component.

Function of Multiline diagram

  • A one-line diagram does not provide some information that are essential to three-phase circuitry, but those details are shown on a multi-line diagram.

  • The professionals with responsibility of plant maintenance & operations are able to understand how power systems work through the use of multi-line diagrams.

  • In addition to this, wiring diagrams for metering and protective relays can be developed with their multi-line diagrams.

Characteristics of Multiline diagram

  • A Multiline diagram is a representation of the components of a power system that uses the same standardised symbols as a single-line diagram, as well as a further collection of standard symbols that are additionally utilized in schematic and wiring diagrams.

  • A multiline diagram, as opposed to a single-line diagram, displays each component of the power circuit as a separate line.

What is the difference between the single-line and multi-line diagram?

Single Line Diagram Vs Multi Line Diagram

Single Line Diagram Multi Line Diagram
A component with one, two, or three connections is shown in a single line in a single-line representation. A representation consisting of many lines that displays the total number of electrical connections as well as the connection points for each component.

The arrangement of neutral point grounding operation modes for 110kV~220kV power grid transformers shall meet the insulation withstand requirements of transformer neutral points, and shall also strive to keep the zero-sequence impedance of substations basically unchanged, while ensuring that the zero-sequence comprehensive impedance at any short-circuit point in the system does not exceed three times the positive-sequence comprehensive impedance.For 220kV and 110kV transformers in new constructi

Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?
Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?In substations, equipment such as power and distribution transformers, transmission lines, voltage transformers, current transformers, and disconnect switches all require grounding. Beyond grounding, we will now explore in depth why gravel and crushed stone are commonly used in substations. Though they appear ordinary, these stones play a critical safety and functional role.In substation grounding design—especially when multiple gr

Why Must a Transformer Core Be Grounded at Only One Point? Isn't Multi-Point Grounding More Reliable?
Why Does the Transformer Core Need to Be Grounded?During operation, the transformer core, along with the metal structures, parts, and components that fix the core and windings, are all situated in a strong electric field. Under the influence of this electric field, they acquire a relatively high potential with respect to ground. If the core is not grounded, a potential difference will exist between the core and the grounded clamping structures and tank, which may lead to intermittent discharge.I
