Outage Segment Results
The outage segment results give an indication of which segments will be placed out of service when an upstream segment is shut down. In highly looped systems with multiple sources, there will be very few non-zero length outage segments, while in tree shaped segments with a single source, there will be numerous large outage segments.
The outages segment list may be sorted based on Outage Set Length. Large outage segments usually indicate portions of the system where a single break or shutdown can place large numbers of customers out of service.
Use the zoom button on top of the middle pane to view the details of the individual outage segment sets and evaluate approaches to improve the system.
Note: By default, affected elements are included when highlighting an
outage segment. To exclude affected elements from the highlight, click the
Highlight Outage Segment button and then untick Include Affected Elements in
Highlight. If you already have highlight on, this will automatically refresh
the drawing. If highlight is off, the next time you turn on highlighting it
will not highlight affected elements.
Note: By default, affected customer meters are included when highlighting
an outage segment. To exclude affected customer meters, click the Highlight
Outage Segment button and then untick Include Affected Customer Meters in
Highlight. If you already have highlight on, this will automatically refresh
the drawing. If highlight is off, the next time you turn on highlighting, it
will not highlight affected customer meters.
