Common Attributes of Switches

Unbalanced Network

The following attributes exist on both the Device feature class and the JunctionObject table in the electric domain network. They are common in the sense that they may be meaningfully populated (though not necessarily required to be populated) for any of the subclasses of switchable device (fuses, reclosers, etc.).

Required Configuration

The DeviceStatus and PhasesNormal attributes are required for all switchable device unit records in the JunctionObject table and Electric Device Feature Class.
All Unbalanced Switch device features should have PhasesNormal equal to the union of the PhasesNormal values of the units contained by the bank.
All Unbalanced Switch device features should have DeviceStatus that is closed unless the DeviceStatus of all units is open.

Name	Data Type	Description	Sample Data
DeviceStatus	Short or Long Integer	Open/Closed state of the device (N/A for banks). Open, Traceable allows for features to be owned by the subnetwork for things like export subnetwork but have no energized phases.	0 = Open 1 = Closed 2 = Open, Traceable
RatedCurrent	Short or Long Integer	Current rating in amps.
MaxInterruptingAmps	Short or Long Integer	Maximum current in amps that the device can safely interrupt.
MaxOperatingVolts	Short or Long Integer	Voltage rating in volts.
GangOperated	Short or Long Integer	Used to note in the unbalanced model if a switchable device is gang operated.	1-Yes 0-No

Balanced Network

The following attributes only exist on the device feature class. They are common in the sense that they may be populated (though not required to be populated) for any of the subclasses of switchable device, such as fuses and reclosers.

Required Configuration

The DeviceStatus and PhasesNormal attributes are required for all switchable devices feature class.

DeviceStatus	Short or Long Integer	Open/Closed state of the device (N/A for banks). Open, traceable allows for features to be owned by the subnetwork for things like export subnetwork but have no energized phases.	0 = Open 1 = Closed 2= Open, Traceable
RatedCurrent	Short or Long Integer	Current rating in amps.
MaxInterruptingAmps	Short or Long Integer	Maximum current in amps that the device can safely interrupt.
