The Breakdown module of the Protector allows you to determine which pipes in a hydraulic network
00:09
need to be closed during the event of a pipe break.
00:13
A Breakdown simulation allows you to accurately identify pipes
00:17
that can and should be closed in order to isolate a pipe element from the rest of the water system.
00:24
In this example, you simulate a broken pipeline in the network to determine the affected facilities and closable valves,
00:32
to isolate the broken pipe.
00:35
To begin, double-click the desired project .aprx file to open ArcGIS Pro.
00:43
Once the project starts, click the InfoWater Pro tab to open the InfoWater Pro ribbon.
00:50
In the Project panel, click Initialize.
00:54
Start by running a simulation for the current scenario.
00:58
On the InfoWater Pro ribbon, in the Analysis panel, click Run to open the Run Manager.
01:05
Click Run to run the simulation and create an output for the current scenario.
01:11
Close the Run Manager.
01:14
You can now access the Protector.
01:16
On the ribbon, in the Project panel, click Apps.
01:21
From the Apps Manager, select Protector, and then click Run to open the Protector app.
01:29
Switch to the Breakdown tab.
01:32
Enter a Source Pipe Location of 2852.
01:37
Pipe 2852 was previously identified by the Protector Isolation module.
01:43
Under Closable Devices, enable both Include Active Valves and Include Active Pumps.
01:51
Under Closable Pipes, make sure that Domain is selected,
01:56
and then click Edit Domain to open the Domain Manager, to select the closable pipes.
02:02
In the Domain Manager, select Selection Set as the Element Source,
02:08
and then use the drop-down to select the CLOSABLE_PIPES selection set.
02:14
The CLOSABLE_PIPES selection set contains all pipes with closable valves.
02:20
Click Add, and then Close to exit the Domain Manager.
02:25
under Result Selection Set, use the Affected Facilities drop-down to select AFFECTED_FACILITIES.
02:33
Affected facilities are all isolated pipelines due to the broken pipe.
02:39
Enable Include Isolated Area by Connectivity Search.
02:44
In the Closed Facilities drop-down, select CLOSED_FACILITIES.
02:50
This selection set was previously created by a Protector Isolation run.
02:55
Now you are ready to run the Breakdown simulation.
02:59
Click Run.
03:01
Once the simulation is complete, you can see the source location of pipe 2852 (in yellow), the affected facilities (in red),
03:12
and the closed facilities (in grey) in your model.
03:16
Use the Color on Map settings in the Breakdown tab to change these colors, if desired.
03:23
Click Purge Water to calculate the volume of water needed to purge the affected areas.
03:30
Click OK to close the Purge Volume dialog, and then click Close to exit the Protector.

Required for course completion
The Breakdown module of the Protector allows for determining which pipes in a hydraulic network need to be closed during the event of a pipe break. A Breakdown simulation accurately identifies pipes that can and should be closed in order to isolate a pipe element from the rest of the water system.
This example simulated a broken pipeline in the network to determine the affected facilities and closable valves, to isolate the broken pipe.
Start by running a simulation for the current scenario:
To access the Protector:
Pipe 2852 was previously identified by the Protector Isolation module.
Next, search for closable pipes on a selection or a domain:
The CLOSABLE_PIPES selection set contains all pipes with closable valves.
Affected facilities are all isolated pipelines due to the broken pipe.
This selection set was previously created by a Protector Isolation run.
The Breakdown simulation is now ready to be run:
