I wonder if this level of granularity is really that useful ? Where's the limit ? I mean: without knowing all the complete diagram, all of that is a bit useless, no ?Correct me if I'm wrong, but it would be like changing from mapping only the signals/signs on the railroads to mapping each of the elements of the railroad such as the level-crossing sensors, speed-control beacons, axle counters, data pickup units, etc.. IDK, maybe this is used somewhere (In that case, I'd love to see a pratical example ;) ).
Whether such detailed mapping is useful only time can tell but there are certainly mappers who want to add such information. From Taginfo: power=busbar (13795), power=switch (8591), power=transformer (8958) to mention the most frequently used substation component tags. With this proposal I have tried to define the granularity at which substations should be mapped. For example busbars and bays should be mapped at the circuit level, not as individual conductors. With the exception of power=switch (because it is so popular) it is recommended not to map bay components (disconnectors, instrument transformers, surge arresters etc) or other fine details.
