ETAP Short circuit analysis software analyzes the effect of 3-phase, 1-phase, line-to-ground, line-to-line, and line-to-line-to-ground fault currents on electrical power systems. The fault current calculation software simulates the total short circuit currents as well as the fault current contributions of individual motors, generators, and utility ties in the power system. Fault current short circuit duties are in compliance with the latest editions of the ANSI/IEEE Standards (C37 series) and IEC Standards (IEC 60909 and others).
The short circuit analysis software makes it easy to go from selecting elements from the comprehensive libraries of short circuit current ratings to performing dozens of different types of short circuit analysis with the purpose of finding the worst-case fault current device duty. Built-in intelligence allows the short circuit analysis software to automatically apply all ANSI / IEEE or IEC factors and ratios required for high- and low-voltage fault current device duty evaluation.
Short circuit analysis software determines fault currents and automatically compare these values against manufacturer short circuit current ratings. Overstressed device alarms are automatically displayed on the one-line diagram and included in short circuit study reports. OTI closely monitors industry standards and OEM data to ensure the ETAP Short Circuit study module is always up-to-date. The Short Circuit study module seamlessly integrates with device coordination and performs arc flash hazard calculations. |
