I have completed importing my existing electric dataset from a file GDB into the new Electric Utility Network for ArcGIS Pro. Ive spent hours going thru and fixing errors and ensuring the connectivity model is error free. The next thing I am working on is doing specific traces on the network. One of the requests from my field crews it to have the ability to select a specific location and trace upstream to find the nearest protective device that they can operate to isolate an area. Yes, the trace feature for upstream would accomplish that. However, I want to be able to tell the trace to stop when it finds a device under Electric Device --> Medium Voltage Fuse --> Overhead Cutout Fused Disconnect (Asset Type). I have attempted to do a Trace Configuration but all my attempts are not working and unable to find any clear directions online on how to accomplish this.

Appreciate any feedback

In the Electric Foundation model, we have a number of categories already defined.  You would probably want to use the category E:Switching to find any switchable device or E:Load Break to find a Load Breaking device, like a Overhead Fused Cutout Load Breaking.  To find Disconnect, you would use the Category of E:Disconnect in your trace.  

 

As for your last question, you could write a python script to perform the initial and subsequent traces until you encounter a Subnetwork Controller.
