ETAP - Electrical Power Systems Software

ETAP  is the most comprehensive electrical engineering software platform for the design, simulation, operation, and automation of generation, transmission, distribution, and industrial systems.

ETAP Base Package is a set of core tools, embedded analysis modules, and engineering libraries that allow you to create, configure, customize, and manage your system model. Core tools allow you to quickly and easily build 3-phase and 1-phase AC and DC network one-line diagrams with unlimited buses and elements including detailed instrumentation and grounding components. 

Base Package includes an intelligent one-line diagram, element editors, verified and validated engineering device libraries, configuration manager, report manager, project and study wizards, multi-dimensional database, theme manager, data exchange, and user access management. Embedded analysis modules, such as Cable Ampacity, Cable Sizing, and Transmission Line Constants, provide integrated as well as stand-alone capabilities to design, analyze, and size equipment.

Network Analysis

Network Analysis includes a powerful set of analytical tools that allow for simulation, prediction, design and planning of system behavior utilizing an intelligent one-line diagram and the flexibility of a multi-dimensional database. Network Analysis includes Arc Flash, Short Circuit, Load Flow, Motor Acceleration, and Load Analyzer modules.
