Single line schematics editor
OPAL-RT is a global leader in real-time simulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, which integrates real and simulated components to validate advanced systems in automotive, aerospace, power electronics, and energy industries.
OPAL-RT requested a custom solution, as their market-based tool for modeling electrical circuits was not sufficient. The lack of desired functionalities and their high cost was the necessary push to look for better alternatives. Synergy Codes' core strength – expertise in GoJS – was a perfect match.

FAQ
- What is a circuit diagram?
A circuit diagram, also known as a schematic diagram, is a visual representation of an electrical circuit. It uses standardized symbols to illustrate the components and their connections within the circuit. Circuit diagrams provide a concise way to communicate the design and functioning of a circuit, including the flow of current, voltage sources, resistors, capacitors, and other electronic components.
- What is a single line diagram and a single flow diagram?
A Single Line Diagram (SLD) is a simplified representation of an electrical power system using a single line to depict the flow of electricity instead of showing all three phases individually. It includes key components such as generators, transformers, circuit breakers, busbars, and loads, using standardized symbols for clarity. SLDs are widely used in power system planning, troubleshooting, and documentation, helping engineers and technicians analyze, maintain, and optimize electrical networks efficiently.
On the other hand, a Signal Flow Diagram (SFD) is a graphical representation of a system that illustrates the flow of signals between components using directed arrows. It is commonly used in control systems, communications, and signal processing to show how input signals are processed through different system elements, such as amplifiers, filters, or controllers. By representing system behavior visually, SFDs help engineers analyze system dynamics, identify feedback loops, and optimize performance. - How to read a circuit diagram?
To read a circuit diagram, start by understanding the key components and their symbols. Familiarize yourself with the conventions used in the diagram, such as the direction of current flow and the labeling of different nodes or connection points. Trace the path of the circuit, following the connections between components and the flow of current. Pay attention to the arrangement of components, such as series and parallel connections, as well as the values of resistors, capacitors, and other components specified in the diagram. Reading the circuit diagram step by step will help you understand how the circuit operates.
- How can I draw a circuit diagram?
To draw a circuit diagram, begin by identifying the components you want to include and their connections. Sketch the circuit on a piece of paper or use a specialized software tool for circuit design. Start by placing the components and using the appropriate symbols to represent them. Then, connect the components with lines to show the electrical connections. Use labels or annotations to provide additional information or indicate the values of components. It’s important to follow a logical and organized layout, keeping the circuit diagram clear and easy to understand.
