# Mapping phases You can either extend `BasePhaseMapper` class or use existing phase mapper classes to map phases to nodes and assets. Let's use balanced phase mapper class to map phases to nodes and assets. Here we are assuming all transformers are of split phase type and 25 kVA for the purpose of mapping phases. Actual transformer size can vary depending upon which equipment is used by equipment mapper. ```python from shift import TransformerPhaseMapperModel, TransformerTypes, BalancedPhaseMapper from gdm import DistributionTransformer from gdm.quantities import PositiveApparentPower mapper = [ TransformerPhaseMapperModel( tr_name=el.name, tr_type=TransformerTypes.SPLIT_PHASE, tr_capacity=PositiveApparentPower( 25, "kilova", ), location=new_graph.get_node(from_node).location, ) for from_node, _, el in new_graph.get_edges() if el.edge_type is DistributionTransformer ] phase_mapper = BalancedPhaseMapper(new_graph, method="kmeans", mapper=mapper) ```
