Flicker Values (Electric Optimization Wizard)

Used to specify maximum flicker values for single-service and multi-service facilities. This page is displayed only if you have chosen the Motor Start Flicker option for sizing secondary facilities. Modifications to the default values are applied in the analysis of the current design and are not saved for the next design session.

SettingDescription
Maximum Flicker-Multi-Service (%) The maximum percentage by which the nominal voltage of a multi-service system is allowed to dip due to additional loads imposed by the startup of large motors (such as AC units). Limited to a value between 0 and 10.00. A typical setting is 5.50%.
Maximum Flicker-Single Service (%) The maximum percentage by which the nominal voltage of a single-service system is allowed to dip due to additional loads imposed by the startup of large motors (such as AC units). Limited to a value between 0 and 10.00. A typical setting is 7.00%.
