About Reconfiguring Circuit and Flow

Use the Reconfigure Circuit and Flow workflow when you add new features to a network. The workflow identifies the new features as part of the circuit and corrects any flow errors.

Looped networks are supported. For example, you can run the Reconfigure Circuit and Flow workflow on a circuit in which phase ABC splits into individual phase A, B, C, and then comes back to phase ABC.

Note:

Before you reconfigure circuit and flow, be sure that the feeder device at the start of the circuit is assigned to the circuit. You can specify the circuit in the Device container in the Electric Explorer or in the form for the feeder device.

The Circuit dashboard in the Electric Explorer lists circuits that need to be reconfigured. You can select a circuit to start the workflow. Note that if you close AutoCAD Map 3D, this information is lost.

Note:

If a transformer has two different circuits, the transformer acts as a stop condition for circuit propagation. In this case, the circuits are set up differently on either side the transformer. The Reconfigure Circuit and Flow workflow cannot set the two circuit attributes to the same value. To overwrite the circuit value on both sides of the transformer, run the Reconfigure Circuit and Flow for the circuit, then select the transformer and run the workflow a second time.
