Electric Traces

Downstream and Upstream Traces

These traces make use of Esri’s Downstream and Upstream tracer.

We use the following parameters:

• Retrieve the ElectricDistributionTierName from the Electric Domain configuration

• Functions are set to an empty list

• Target Tier and Source Tier are null

• Do NOT Validate Consistency

• Do NOT include barriers with results

The user has the following options:

• Tracing options from the ArcFM Tracing tools.

• Editor configuration for the name of the Phases field.

• Phases Wheel which filters the results by phase.

Esri’s tracing methods generate an exception upon detecting dirty areas unless the Validate Consistency parameter is set to false. Given that trace results provide valuable troubleshooting insights beyond the identification of dirty areas, and given that Esri highlights dirty areas in various ways, we request trace results be returned even in the presence of dirty areas.

Downstream and Upstream Protective Traces

The same parameters and options are followed as with the Downstream and Upstream Traces but are filtered to return protective devices.
