We have a couple of pad mounted switch gears in which two circuits enter and exit. In my traces, I would want to show this separation, I ran a connected trace and it resulted in the opposite.

 

Below are screenshots as to what I want to be returned on the trace. From the circuit source, A5, I would want the trace to hit the switch and only select switches 3 and 1 in the diagram on the left. Entering from the circuit source at 3 and exiting at 1, going downstream to a transformer. Would this be fixed with terminals or is it a matter of how it is digitized/types of devices? 

The switches are just cabinet buses connecting the switches/fuses within a fuse bank.

Should I export my UN and delete data to provide a subset?

What I just noticed is that the phase energized field is not staying as phases ABC and always reverting back to de-energized at the subnet controller/circuit breaker even when I save edits, validate topology, and update subnetwork. Once the subnetwork gets updated, it reverts back to de-energized. Can this be a cause of this issue?

@Joshua_Moreno There are three fields that are configured when using propagation, and the phases energized field store the results of the phasing that was calculated by the system. Phases energized is a symptom of the problem; the cause is that the field used for E:Phases Propagated (phasechange) is not populated.

Here's a screenshot of the standard subnetwork definition for propagation:

Here's a screenshot of the network attribute assignment for E:Phases Propagated.

If you populate the phasechange field of all your features with the phasing value, instead of the phases energized field, then your subnetworks should start tracing. If you aren't 100% confident in your phasing, you may want to remove the propagators from your subnetwork so you can work through some of the simpler data issues first before you worry about having your phasing 100% accurate.

Well, this was exactly my issue. Thank you for this information as I completely overlooked it.
