Revision history [back]

It sounds like your file may have been converted for use in dynamic simulation calculations, switching studies, and the three sequence equivalencing. This is generally done through the [Power Flow]->[Convert Loads and Generators...] function. The best option is to find a version of the file before it was converted. If that isn't an option, and you're looking to perform typical power flows, I'd suggest saving your case from PSSE30 as a .RAW file, then opening that in PSSE33. You may even have some luck saving it as a .RAW file in 33, and then opening that same raw file. Good luck.
