NOTE: OpenSCD does not support the definition of user-defined conducting equipment types. This can only be manipulated through the code editor. NOTE: The Earth Switch is unfortunately not a type but a special version of
DIS. It can be tagged to an earth switch through the data objectSwType(a logical node reference to the logical node of classXSWI) that must be present. Alternatively, it has a childTerminalwith acNodeName = grounded. Both of these cases are recognized by OpenSCD and displayed. When you create a new Earth Switch, the second option is applied.
