Electric Network - Overhead to Underground

Question

I am working with the Electric Distribution Management GDB from Arc Solutions and slowly trying to add my Electric Data from my current GDB to the Utility Network. Working thru all of the errors but one I cannot figure out is connecting an Overhead Medium Conductor and an Underground Medium Conductor. I have an Electric Junction (Medium Voltage Attachment-Riser) and when I run the Update Subnetwork tool, it does not connect the Overhead to Underground. I have even done the connectivity on connecting the conductor to the junction still with no luck on updating the Electric Subnet Line layer.

Any advice on what I might be doing wrong??

If you want to send me the asset package or fgdb UN, I can take a look.  mmiller@esri.com

Hello Mike:

I am unsure why the vertices would be different since I snapped the End-Points and Junctions to ensure they match. I verified via the attributes to make sure this was the case. I "Split" the electric line to get a clean end-point to snap the junction and other end-point line.

The phase(s) match from OH to Riser to UG. It works when I have an OH 3-Phase to an junction to an OH 1-phase.

The specific location that I am working has no Utility Network Errors.

In this screen-shot, the thick purple line is from the Electric Subnet Line layer after running the Update Subnetwork. The junction is from the Electric Junction layer - Medium Voltage Attachment. Also, doing a trace using the "Connected" option, somehow shows that the junction/line is not connected.

The File GDB is from using the Utility Network Package Tools toolbox to prepare the GDB/UN/Feature Classes from the ArcSolutions Electric model. So, I am using the template and not a custom built one.

I am at a total loss here on why this isn't working.

Couple items

- How did you compare the vertices are equal?  The attribute dialog does round, so make sure to click into X and Y and Z to get the true numbers to compare them.  A python script could also be used to print them out.  I can mock one up later to print out the vertices if you want.

- Do you have propagation configured?  As Mike said, if that tap does not have the Phase Current set, it probably will not connect the downstream line.

- Are there are UN errors reported?

- Is that result you are showing the result of a find connected trace?
