Remove a Transformer

The application supports removing just a transformer or removing a transformer and its downstream components using the workflows below.

IMPORTANT: When you remove a transformer, the downstream conductors and devices do not get de-energized. This is to reflect the more typical field maintenance of replacing an existing transformer, rather than removing a transformer entirely. In other words, since it is more common to replace a transformer, the downstream devices remain energized in expectation of an install transformer CU.

Remove a Transformer

Use the Select tool to right-click the existing transformer.
On the click wheel, choose Remove.

IMPORTANT: If you see a green or red badge, it means the application could not find the exact remove transformer CU in your WMS. See the topic Remove a Single Component for more information.
Notice a removal CU is assigned to the transformer, and also notice nothing has changed with the downstream features. They are still energized and did not receive removal CUs.

Remove a Transformer and its Downstream Components

The quickest way to remove the transformer and its downstream components is to use the Remove Existing Devices tool.

On the Design tab, click the Remove Existing Devices tool.
In the map, press and hold the left mouse button, and move over all the components you want to remove. As you do so, a green highlight of what will be removed is left behind.
When you release the mouse, notice a removal CU is assigned to the transformer and all other devices.

IMPORTANT: If you see a green or red badge, it means the application could not find the exact remove transformer CU in your WMS. See the topic Remove a Single Component for more information.
Given the density of the area, you might have unintentionally included other components using the Remove Existing Device tool. Use the Select tool and the Project pane to unassign these removal CUs. For example, in the image above, the upstream conductor and pole were accidentally also removed. To correct this, select the errant remove CUs (either in the map or in the Project pane), then delete them.
