Help with multi-level terminal blocks - Internally-jumpered terminal connects to its own terminal strip?

[tcoppens84SWP]

I want to use two 2-tiered, internally-commoned terminal blocks (AB 1492-JD3C) to connect two separate devices in parallel to a power source. The first terminal block will split the AC power line into two parallel branches, and the second terminal block will rejoin the two lines to one neutral.

I'm running into the issue that both terminals appear to be connected to the device "XF" which is the name of the terminal strip they're on. The main AC power line is labeled "010213B" and comes directly from the circuit breaker "CB010213." Only the upper-left-side pin on the second terminal block should connect to the transformer "XF010213.

How do I fix this, and what am I doing wrong here? Does it have to do with the wire connection points?

The problem is coming up because you are showing them wired together.

What you need to do is show them connected but use a special layer that will not be reported: the JUMPER layer. If you put a wire on a JUMPER layer, it will not appear in the Terminal Strip Editor.

I use W-JUMPER_INTERNAL for this. (It is the Magenta wire)

Then remove the jumper from the TSE. I personally never use them because I like to show all current paths.

The jumper in the TSE is helpful if you are just going to show the terminal "floating" in space but want the wire number to come from there, like a busbar.

Thanks for your response! I went into the "Add/edit wire types" command and added a layer named "JUMPER", used it to connect the two terminals vertically, and it worked.
