Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 100 rows came out of a blueprint — 19 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with

Bank ID unique per installation
Reactive power rating (MVAR) at nominal voltage
Voltage level and connection (wye, delta)
Switching control: fixed, switched manually, automatic (voltage, VAR, time)
Number of steps for multi-step banks
Capacitor units per phase
Tuning for harmonic filtering (if applicable)
Inrush current limiting reactors
