This may be a dumb question as I'm new to SKM, but is there a way to represent a loop feed sectionalizer without looking really ugly and using a million buses?

I have a loop feed system feeding 4 transformers. It feels like I'm missing something as it shouldn't take 20 buses to make that.

I don't know if 20 is the correct number, but you'll have three buses at each transformer primary, plus secondary buses. It takes what it takes. If you don't care about being able to open/close the loop feed, then you don't need to model it.

If you use a million buses, you're probably doing it wrong.
