The advanced graphical interface allows for design of cable raceway systems to meet existing and future needs by using precise calculations to determine required cable sizes, their physical capabilities, and maximum dera ted ampacity. In addition, transient temperature analysis computes temperature p rofiles for cable currents, reducing the risk of damage to cable systems under e mergency conditions.

top of page Cable Pulling cable pulling Accurate prediction of cable pulling forces is essential for the p roper design of cable systems. This knowledge makes it possible to avoid under-e stimated and/or over-conservative design practices to achieve substantial capita l savings during construction. The Cable Pulling module accounts for multiple ca bles of different sizes and allows complex 3-D pulling path geometry. A point-by -point calculation method is performed at every conduit bend and pull point. Bot h the forward and reverse pulling tensions are calculated for determining the pr eferred direction of pull.

The Control System Diagram (CSD) s imulates the sequence-of-operation of control devices such as solenoids, relays, controlled contacts, multi-sequence contacts, and actuators including inrush co nditions. CSD has the capability of determining pickup and dropout voltages, los ses, and current flows at any time instance as well as overall marginal and crit ical alerts. A large library of equipment enables engineers to quickly model and simulate the action of relays associated with control interlocks after given ti me delays.

top of page Data Exchange data exchange - import / export data The ETAP Data Exchange module (DataX) is us ed to import, export, and synchronize data between external data sources and ETA P. DataX transforms legacy data into ETAP, interfaces ETAP to external architect

ure such as GIS systems, AutoCAD, Microstation, or synchronizes ETAP with other applications. Customizable data mapping, intelligent error checking, and automat ed one-line diagram generator are amongst the many utilities with DataX.

top of page GIS Map GIS map ETAP GIS Map superimposes electrical one-line diagrams with the correspo nding geographical maps of power generation, transmission, and distribution syst ems. Synchronize relevant electrical equipment information from GIS into ETAP an d maintain the relationship between them. You can open unlimited views of GIS ma ps within ETAP, allowing you to manipulate GIS maps while working in ETAP. The a nalysis results are then displayed on geographical maps providing an effortless view of the electrical power system states within GIS Map.
