I have a different viewpoint: I don't think that the open point and the rail though the frog should be powered. I put insulating joiners after the frog, just like electrofrog turnouts, so that no current seeps back from the track beyond. I usually rely on the point blades to carry current but I use the switch machine contacts if a problem develops.
