Change Fault Device

Available in Responder Explorer.

Change Fault Device allows the user to select an electric feature to replace an incident feature. The feature in the incident is removed, and the feature selected on the map is added to the incident. The Change Fault Device tool is NOT available on confirmed fault devices.

If you wish to change the device to one that is downstream of another outage device, the changed device MUST be on a phase different than the upstream outage.

This tool will remain disabled if the incident is a partial-power outage.

You may modify the following fields on the Edit New Fault window: Actual Status, Time of Operation, and Confirmed. By default, the Confirmed Status is set to Probable when the device is changed; you may modify this value. The available values in the Actual field are determined by the device's Normal Status and Phase Designation. It will not allow you to set an Actual Status of ABC on a device that has an expected status of A Closed and a Phase Designation of A.
Click OK to save changes and dismiss the form.
