One-line diagram is a simplified single-phase circuit diagram of a balanced three-phase electric power system. It is indicated by a single line and standard apparatus symbols.
One-line Diagram
The information on a one-line diagram is vary according to the problem at hand and the practice of the particular company preparing the diagram. Example :
Advantages of One-line Diagram Simplicity. One phase represents all three phases of the balanced system. The equivalent circuits of the components are replaced by their standard symbols. The completion of the circuit through the neutral is omitted.
Impedance and Reactance Diagrams Impedance (Z = R + jX) diagram is converted from oneline diagram showing the equivalent circuit of each component of the system. It is needed in order to calculate the performance of a system under load conditions (Load flow studies) or upon the occurrence of a short circuit (fault analysis studies). Reactance (jX) diagram is further simplified from impedance diagram by omitting all static loads, all resistances, the magnetizing current of each transformer, and the capacitance of the transmission line. It is apply to fault calculations only, and not to load flow studies. Impedance and reactance diagrams sometimes called the Positive-sequence diagram.

Per-unit Representation
In power systems there are so many different elements such as Motors, Generators and Transformers with very different sizes and nominal values. To be able to compare the performances of a big and a small element, per unit system is used.
Per-unit Representation
Power system quantities such as voltage, current and impedance are often expressed in per unit or percent of specified values. Per unit quantities are calculated as:
Per-unit Representation
Z actual Z pu ! Z base
Per-unit Representation
Usually, the nominal apparent power (S) and nominal voltage (V) are taken as the base values for power (Sbase) and voltage (Vbase). The base values for the current (Ibase) and impedance (Zbase) can be calculated based on the first two base values.

Exercise: The terminal voltage for a symmetrical Y-connected load with per phase impedance , ZL = 20 -300 is 4.5 kV line to line. The impedance for each line that link the load to the bus substation is ZTL = 1.5 at ; . Determine the line to line voltage 750the bus substation by using per unit analysis. Use 4.5kV and 130A as the base voltage and base current.
The impedance of individual generators and transformers are generally in terms of % or pu quantities based on their own ratings (By manufacturer). For power system analysis, all impedances must be expressed in pu on a common system base. Thus, it is necessary to convert the pu impedances from one base to another (common base, for example: 100 MVA). Per-unit impedance of a circuit element
The equation shows that pu impedance is directly proportional to base MVA and inversely proportional to the square of the base voltage. Therefore, to change from old base pu impedance to new base pu impedance, the following equation applies:
