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.

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:
