In power engineering, a single-line diagram ( SLD ), also sometimes called one-line diagram, is a simplest symbolic representation of an electric power system. [1] [2] A single line in the diagram typically corresponds to more than one physical conductor: in a direct current system the line includes the supply and return paths, in a three-phase ...
