Hi all,

I am very new to the concert of utility network. Please be gentle, a few newbie (stupid) questions will follow. 

I have read some documentation about UN, but still have some things which are not clear. 

I have a geometric network now for electricity now. In there I have a lot of feature classes, e.g. HV,LV (lines), meter, pole (point). 

The way I understand it is that UN has very few feature classes. Instead the "things" are contained in single table and what they are is determined by attributes. 

I read about the terms asset group and asset type. 

What I don't understand is how the multiple tables in GN will be translated into single tables using the above UN terms.

For instance will the 2 feature classes HV and LV become entries in one line feature classe of the UN each with attributes describing their voltage? And which term would this be asset group or asset type?

Or I am completely wrong so far?

Any help appreciated.
