Short-Circuit Analysis - ANSI / IEEE / IEC
We take the guess-work out of short-circuit studies. It’s as easy as one, two, three… We automatically apply all ANSI or IEC factors and ratios, compare calculated duties to manufacturer published data, and provide alarms and warnings for overstressed devices. OTI closely monitors industry standards to ensure ETAP is always up-to-date. The Short-Circuit module seamlessly integrates with device coordination and Arc Flash Hazard calculations.
