3. ETAP Star
ETAP 7.0 includes an extensive list of enhancements for the ETAP Star module. Using these new user-
oriented capabilities, the process of design and evaluation of protective device coordination is
significantly faster and easier. Among them is the Star Sequence-of-Operation with new short circuit fault
types: Line-to-Line, Line-to-Line-to-Ground in addition to 3-phase and Line-to-Ground.
Sequence of Operation
Star Sequence-of-Operation evaluates, verifies, and confirms the operation and selectivity of the
protective devices for various types of faults for any location directly from the one-line diagram and via
normalized TCC curve views. Sequence-of-Operation provides a system wide solution for an accurate and
realistic operating time and state of protective devices, such as relay, fuse, circuit breaker, trip devices,
contactor, etc. The operation time is calculated for each protective device based on its settings, time
current characteristic, and interlocks for a specified fault location and type. ETAP 7.0 enhances this
invaluable tool by including Line-to-Line and Line-to-Line-to-Ground Drag-and-Drop Faults in addition
to 3-Phase and Line-to-Ground Faults.

4. Data Exchange
ETAP Data Exchange is used to import, export, and synchronize data between external data sources and
ETAP. DataX provides many utilities including:
DataX includes several new conversion programs that allow for conversion of third party electrical power
system databases to ETAP. The conversion program will automatically generate a multi-layered graphical
one-line diagram. A list of available conversion programs are available upon request.
The SPEL XML file contains the electrical data for equipment and connectivity information in the SPEL
project. The ETAP data exchange interface uses information available in SPEL to add, modify, and delete
elements. The interface not only auto creates one-line diagrams, it also facilitates multiple data transfers
(synchronization) between ETAP and SPEL. As a result, data in ETAP and SPEL are kept consistent
without going through the time-consuming manual process of recording additions and modifications in
both systems.
The ETAP-SPEL cable library data synchronization is bridged by a Microsoft Access database. Users can
import or export ETAP project cable library data into or from the Microsoft Access database using the
ETAP Lib Utility. Through the SPEL Lib Utility, users can also export or import cable library data into or
from the Microsoft Access database.
5. Load Analyzer
The Load Analyzer module is designed as a generalized load list to report load schedules for power
system components such as switchgear, MCC, transformers, cables, lines, panels, etc. Different reports
provide informative data regarding all loads connected downstream to the equipment. Load Analyzer is
an invaluable tool during the design / planning phase as well as analyzing existing electrical systems
because running system studies like load flow analysis may not be possible due to incomplete one-line
diagram or data.

7. Enhanced Modules
Short Circuit
ETAP Short-Circuit module has enhanced duty calculations for generator circuit breakers per the latest
version of IEEE Std C37.013, “IEEE Standard for AC High-Voltage Generator Circuit Breakers Rated on
a Symmetrical Current Basis”. The generators are modeled by the sub-transient dynamic model to
represent AC and DC decay of short-circuit contributions from the generator. It calculates both system-
source and generator-source short-circuit currents and considers no-load, lagging PF load, and leading-PF
load for pre-fault conditions.
ETAP provides several options for multiplication factor (MF) for high-voltage circuit breaker and bus
momentary duty calculations. The options include MF calculated based on system X/R, fixed values at
1.6/2.6, or use of 1.6/2.6 as minimum values. These options allow the user to obtain accurate results as
well as to ensure conservativeness in short-circuit calculations.

ETAP PowerStation 4.7.0
October 2002
This release incorporates Cable Pulling, Transformer MVA Sizing, Transformer Tap Optimization, IEC
287 temperature analysis (Underground Raceway Systems), and Motor Parameter Estimation modules
into ETAP, making ETAP completely integrated within the Windows environment. In addition, hundreds
of enhancements have been added to the existing modules.
Following the tradition of ETAP integration of electrical and physical properties, the newly added
modules have been designed to fully integrate with existing modules to eliminate multiple instances of the
similar data. For example, the Cable Pulling module uses the data from the existing cables in your ETAP
project files. Thus, the data for a single cable can be used for:
With ETAP, you can model, design, analyze, and optimize your electrical systems. This integration of
data provides consistency throughout the project and eliminates repetitive data entry for the same
element. This in turn reduces the time required to model and analyze a power system in its entirety,
which results in time and cost savings.
Analysis Capabilities
ETAP PowerStation 4.7 is a major upgrade to ETAP PowerStation 4.0.4. The analysis capabilities
available to you will depend on the configuration of modules purchased.
