ETAP BASICS AND TRANSMISSION LINE MODELLING:

WHAT IS ETAP?

ETAP stand for Electrical Transient and Analysis Program. It is the most

comprehensive analysis platform for the design, simulation, operation, and

automation of generation, distribution, and industrial power system.

HOW TO HANDLE ETAP SOFTWARE?

PROCEDURE TO DO PROJECT IN ETAP SOFTWARE:

STEP 1: Open the software and Click the FILE option.

STEP 2: Click New project under the file option.

STEP 3: Save the project in the proper location by browse. Choose the perfect

folder you have created or else create a new folder, inside the folder you can create

the save the project as the file. File name and the Name of the project should be the

same.

STEP 4: Click the PROJECT option in the software.

STEP 5: Under the project option, you can click the standard, and fill out the

details are:

STANDARD: IEC/ANSI

SET FREQUENCY (STANDARD DEPENDENT): 50/60/100……

SET UNIT SYSTEM: METRIC (IEC)/ ENGLISH (ANSI)

STEP 6: Click the PROJECT option, under this option; you can click the

information and fill the details in the information. Those are not mandatory but

good to fill the details.

Important notes:

 IEC – INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION

 ANSI – AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD INSTITUTE

 In the project option of the standard; Based on that selecting the

standards, the symbol of the components will differ and also the

frequency. So before giving the standard you can ensure that in which

country project you have taken. Based on the countries, the standard

will differ. you cannot change the standard after u draw a sinlge

component of the project.

 In the project option of the standard; If you are going to change the unit

system from English to Metric; so thus the warning message will ask u to

ensure the changes is shown in the Figure and click ok to change it from

English to Metric and the Vice Versa.

CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY OPTION:

This Check circuit continuity option is use to check whether the circuit is

continuity or discontinuity that means thus the circuit gets energized or not

energized. If the circuit is energized, the diagram will be dark in colour. If the

circuit is not energized, the diagram will be in dull colour. Those can be detected

by only the circuit continuity option is enabled.

In the above picture, the check circuit continuity is disables hence the circuit

shows in the dark colour in spite of the circuit is not energized.

In the above picture, the check circuit continuity is enables and also the circuit gets

energized so the circuit shows in the dark colour.

In the above picture, the check circuit continuity is enables and but the circuit gets

not energized so the circuit shows in the dull colour.
