Description 

​E:Switch

​ElectricDevice

​JunctionObject

Sub-category of E:Switch.

​Applies to all switchable device types in the Device feature class and the JunctionObject table. 

​Implied Attributes:

DeviceStatus (this drives the NormalOpen status required by ADMS) 

PhasesNormal 

RatedCurrent (required by ADMS)

​E:Switch - Disconnect

​ElectricDevice

JunctionObject

Sub-category of E:Switch.

​Implied attributes: MaxInterruptingAmps (maximum current in amps that the switch can safely interrupt) 

​E:Switch - Load Break

​ElectricDevicee

​JunctionObject

Sub-category of E:Switch.

​E:Switch - Grounding

​ElectricDevice

​JunctionObject

Sub-category of E:Switch.

​Optional

​E:Switch - Bypass

​ElectricDevice

​JunctionObject

Sub-category of E:Switch.

​This category helps identify switch devices inside a composite equipment feature that represents a bypass switch. These could be a pair of disconnect switches surrounding a recloser. It is understood that the open and closed states of the switches in this category are linked in a way specified by the composite equipment feature that contains them.

​E:Switch - Fuse

​ElectricDevice

JunctionObject

Sub-category of E:Switch.

​Implied attributes: FuseType (e.g. N, K, T, etc.) 

​E:Switch - Reclosing

​ElectricDevice

JunctionObject

Sub-category of E:Switch.

​Implied attributes: MaxInterruptingAmps (maximum current in amps that the switch can safely interrupt)

​E:Switch - Circuit Breaker

​ElectricDevice

​JunctionObject

Sub-category of E:Switch.

​Implied attributes: MaxInterruptingAmps (maximum current in amps that the device can safely interrupt)

​E:Switch - Sectionalizing

​ElectricDevice

JunctionObject

Sub-category of E:Switch.

MaxInterruptingAmps (maximum current in amps that the device can safely interrupt).

​E:Protective

​ElectricDevice

JunctionObject

​This category should be applied to all entities in the device feature class and the JunctionObject table that represent devices that may open automatically in response to short circuit current, such as fuses, reclosers, and others. The category can be used to support specialized tracing functions in the UN, such as isolation trace and protective device trace. 

​E:Has Connected Units (Unbalanced)

​ElectricDevice

​Membership in this category, for a switch category feature, implies terminal paths = None. ​PhasesNormal and DeviceStatus values will be automatically assigned by autoupdater (or attribute rule).

​Membership in the E:Has Connected Units category implies that certain attribute values, like DeviceStatus, RatedCurrent, and others, are stored on the unit records.

​E:Has Disconnected Units (Balanced)

​ElectricDevice

​Membership in this category, for a switch category feature, implies terminal paths = All. ​Membership in the E:Has Disconnected Units category implies that certain attribute values, like DeviceStatus, RatedCurrent, and others are stored on the device records.

​E:Unit

​JunctionObject

​Applies to all JunctionObjects that are contained within a bank that has the E:Has Connected Units or E:Has Disconnected Units category.
