To Find Fed Devices

Use the Find Fed Devices workflow to find all features that are fed by a particular device. The workflow is designed to trace from the electricity source to any consumer. Start features must be switchable or feeder devices (classes in EL_DEVICE_CLASS with ID_DEVICE_TYPE=SWITCHABLE, PROTECTIVE or FEEDER).

Note: Administrators: The conditions of the find fed devices tracing template must be inactive because they cannot be used in a normal tracing and are activated temporarily during the workflow execution. They appear as invalid conditions. ( Infrastructure Administrator only allows you to save inactive invalid conditions.) The template itself should also be inactive because it is not used for normal tracing.
  1. Click Home tab Display panel Generate Graphic.
  2. Click the Workflow Explorer icon to display the workflows.
  3. Under Client Workflows, Analysis workflows, click Find Fed Devices. Click Execute.
  4. Click Select Start Feature. Select the start feature (any protective, feeder switchable device class) in the map.
  5. Click Select Stop Feature. Select one or more stop features in the map.
    Note: Tracing a network without stop features can take a very long time.
  6. Under Direction To Trace, specify the flow direction to trace.
  7. Click Include Stop Features to include the stop features in the traces results.

    If you clear this checkbox, stop features are not included in the results.

  8. Click OK to run the workflow.

    When the workflow has finished, the fed conductors and devices are selected in the map. All fed features are displayed in a tree view in the Workflows pane. Use the tools at the top of the Workflows pane to open the feature class form, highlight selected features, and zoom to selected features.

  9. Enter REGEN on the command line to clear the selection in the map.
