Phase Propagation in a higher tier informing the next tier's subnetwork controllers.

I'm working on a pilot, custom UN electrical model. I have three tiers and have observed that my phase propagation starts fresh at each tier. From what I can tell this is exactly how it should behave, though not what I initially anticipated. If I have a de-energized line from tier 1 connecting to the upstream terminal of a subnetwork controller of tier 2, how do I get that subnetwork controller to propagate out as de-energized instead of it's normal phasing?

 

Thank you for any insight

If you want a controller to propagate out as de-energized then set its phasing value to be de-energized. So you'd need to have some kind of check or process that would adjust the phasing of the controller when its no longer energized from its parent subnetwork.

This behavior can also be intentionally forced in v8 utility networks by assigning the PropagatorResetter category to an asset type. This is commonly used on open delta and step transformers for phasing purposes.
