The 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 faults on electrical power systems. The fault current simulation software calculates the total short circuit currents as well as the contributions of individual motors, generators, and utility ties in the system. Fault 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 module 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 device duty. Built-in intelligence allows the short circuit analysis program to automatically apply all ANSI / IEEE or IEC factors and ratios required for high- and low-voltage device duty evaluation.
Short circuit 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 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. |
