Substation Tracing

[KokilaM]

Hi Team,

I'm currently setting up the trace configuration inside an electric substation as follows:

• Up to the Step-Down Transformer → Transmission Tier subnetwork
• Step-Down Transformer to Circuit Breaker → Distribution Tier Subnetwork A
• From the Circuit Breaker onward → Distribution Tier Subnetwork B

After configuring the subnetwork controllers, I ran Update Subnetwork. My expectation was that Subnetwork A would trace only up to the Circuit Breaker. However, it is tracing past the circuit breaker instead of stopping there.

I've also confirmed that the controllers I defined are all set for the Distribution Tier only.

Could you help me understand why the trace isn't terminating at the circuit breaker as expected?

Thanks

What settings did you us in the Trace?  Did you set a target tier?

I ran a subnetwork Trace

@KokilaM - we got past this by setting a traversibility filter in the subnetwork definition to stop at a subnetwork controller.

Can you please help me with this ?

If you look at the sample electric utility network foundation for north station unit 1 and RMT003 you'll see how its configured. As long as both the power transformer and circuit breaker are configured as subnetwork controllers AND the lines associated with each subnetwork controller are connected to the correct terminal it should work correctly.

Can you post a screenshot of what is selected when you trace subnetwork b (circuit breaker) and subnetwork a (the station)? I want to see that before I make any predictions about what is going on.
