Locked-Rotor
% LRC
Enter the machine locked-rotor current (at motor rated kV) in percent of the rated full load current of the
motor, using up to 5 numeric characters.

% PF
Enter the locked-rotor power factor in percent, using up to 5 numeric characters.

ANSI Short-Circuit Z
Std MF/Xsc
If you select Std MF, ETAP uses the following ANSI Multiplying Factors for calculating the positive
sequence short-circuit impedances. If you select the Xsc option, you can directly enter the short-circuit
impedances in percent with motor ratings as the base. Note: the IEC short-circuit method does not use these
impedances.

Parameters
X0
This is the zero sequence reactance in percent (machine base); used for calculating short-circuit currents for
unbalanced faults. Enter up to 7 numeric characters.

X2
This is the negative sequence reactance in percent (machine base); This value is used for harmonic analysis,
short-circuit, and unbalanced load flow studies. Enter up to 7 numeric characters.

X/R
This is the induction motorX/R ratio (Xsc/Ra). Enter up to 7 numeric characters.

T
This is the induction motor transient time constant in seconds. Enter up to 5 numeric characters. This value is
used in the IEC 363 method.

T= X”/(2 f Rr) (Rr = rotor resistance)

Grounding Type
Choose from these four grounding types provided in the drop-down list:

Open Neutral is not connected to ground (ungrounded).

Solid Solidly grounded, no intentional impedance in the neutral grounding path.

Resistor A resistor is used in the neutral grounding path.

Reactor A reactor is used in the neutral grounding path.

Model
The Model area provides performance graphs and a field that displays the generator model type. Clicking on
the Lib… button causes the Library Quick Pick box appear. You can select from the provided list of Design
IDs and Models to specify the Model Type, Design Class and Model ID using the Library Quick Pick.

The following table (NEMA MG-1) provides a summary of motor designs and can be used to estimate a
design classification and torque loads and percentage of slip.

WTG CKT Model Library

You can access Motor Model Library data by selecting CKT model and clicking on the Lib button to open the
Library Quick-Pick - Motor Model. Motor model data from the library can be obtained and transferred to the
Motor Editor by selecting the Model Type (Single1, Single2, DBL1, or DBL2) and then highlighting a Design
Class and model ID. Motor model is used for dynamic motor starting and transient stability analysis.

After you select a new model, if you click on OK to leave the WTG CKT Model Editor and the WTG
Parameter Update editor appears, which displays the updated WTG parameters. Click on the UPDATE button
to apply these parameters or the Cancel button to reject them and close the editor without apply any changes.
ETAP recalculates model parameters after you select a new circuit or characteristic model. The update occurs
when you click OK to leave the Motor Editor, select another editor page, or navigate to another motor.
