Improvements in Neara – Design Flag (Transformers and Pole Substations)

What is happening?

We’re making the following improvements available in Neara from Monday 4 December 2023.

If a transformer is included in a design without a corresponding pole substation, a new flag will appear above the pole in the perspective view, prompting the designer to add an appropriate pole substation as a construction to the pole.

Similarly, if a pole substation is added without a corresponding transformer, a flag will appear to prompt the designer to add the appropriate transformer.

These flags will help designers be compliant with manuals CEOM7104.01, CEOM7104.02, CEOM7104.03, CEOM7104.04, CEOM7104.05, CEOM7104.06 or CEOM7104.10 (available to download from the Document Library).

What do you need to do?

Please update any unsubmitted designs you have commenced prior to Monday 4 December 2023 to the most recent master model. The guides below will help you do this:
