I'm pretty sure I have this modelled correctly but I'm trying to figure out why my Line side and Load side is showing the same incident energy level. Does anyone know what I am missing?

I'll take a stab: unless you have a remote main, the main OCPD in the electrical equipment is not used and the upstream OCPD is used. Since the AF plasma expands at the rate of dynamite, it can be useless in open switchgear and you end up with a 3 phase fault on both the line and load.
