Electric Shock Calculation
Per BS 7671:2008+A3:2015, Note 1 of Section 411.4.5, the Minimum Voltage Factor (Cmin) has been
defaulted to a value of 0.95 for the Electric Shock calculation. For projects prior to ETAP 16.0, since the
Cmin factor was not considered based on BS 7671 17th edition, projects converted to ETAP 16.1 will
have the value automatically converted from 1.0 to 0.95. Please note that the Electric Shock results will
be re-calculated accordingly using the Cmin factor of 0.95. If existing results want to be kept, simply reset
the value on the Minimum Voltage Factor field on the Sizing-GND/PE Electric Shock page back to 1. For
projects created in ETAP 16.0, if the Cmin equals to 1 it will be converted to 0.95 otherwise the values
will be kept.

1. New Features
Auto-Connect
A new tool is added to increase the efficiency and convenience of connect or disconnect the elements on
one-line.
Features
 Automatic equipment connection mode
 Automated selection of available pins
 Auto connection to closest highlighted element
 Auto Disconnect & Reconnect
Adaptive Newton-Raphson
This new Newton-Raphson method has been added to most modules requiring load flow calculations,
such as Load Flow, Motor Starting, Harmonic Analysis, Transient Stability Analysis, and Optimal
Capacitor Placement, etc. The method greatly enhances convergence of load flow calculations for special
system configurations and operating conditions that do not yield a solution by regular Newton-Raphson
method. When it determines such a case, it adaptively adjusts the step size of the iterative calculation
process to provide a solution.
Features
 Increased convergence for systems with negligible impedance
 Improved handling of transmission line series capacitors (i.e. negative line series reactance)
Switching Device Interlock Enforcer

Switching interlock enforcer is an easy to use module in ETAP that allows the engineer to design and
simulate the system while being aware of the existing interlocking between switching devices in the
system. This has the potential to prevent the engineer from designing system configurations that are not
allowed and save time by simulating scenarios that are unnecessary due existing interlocks. As well as
checking for interlocks that prevent the user from changing the configuration of switching devices, it also
checks if switching a device will trigger the switching of another device or a chain of other devices. The
interlocking can be based on the configuration of another switching device or based on a meter readings
updated by running Load Flow study.
Features
 Auto enforcement of switching interlock logics
 Automatic pre-switching & post-switching logic verification
 Interlock based on switching devices positions
 Interlocks based on load flow results, power flows and voltages
 Automatic interlock conflict checking
 Ability to model cascade control of switching devices
 Active monitoring of switching interlock violations
 Switching plan validation against hazardous actions
Cable Manager
The Cable Manager allows the “batch” management of all the cable data, as they appear in the Cable
Editors of each cable. The Cable Manager shows cable data in a consolidated fashion in a grid; with the
2
presence of intelligent filters, cables can be searched and grouped by their relevant parameters, thereby
simplifying their engineering management. Cable Manager allows batch reporting and selecting from
library.

License Checkout/Borrowing
The ETAP license manager has been enhanced to include License Checkout/Borrowing, also known as
“Check-Out” license. ETAP 12 License Manager provides the ability to allow the user to borrow or check
out a license from the host network for a specified amount of time. The engineer can select the amount of
days to borrow the license, up to a maximum of 120 days, and then use that license away from the
network before that seat is automatically returned. During the time the license is borrowed, the checked
out license is removed from the available licenses in the network and can be used on the computer as a
keyless seat outside the network.
Capabilities:
 License borrowing option can be set up through the ETAP LM Configuration utility.
 Borrowed license can run with the computer disconnected from the network until the borrowing
period ends.
 Borrowed duration is determined per user account.
 LM tracks and keeps count of remaining / available licenses for checkout
 Borrowed license duration can be configured from 1 day up to 120 days
 Borrowed licenses are linked to the computers used during checkout
License Manager
The license manager also includes an editor for IT administrators to enhance the management of license
usage. The new license manager editor allows the administrator to monitor the number of users and the
time they logged in. From this manager, the IT administrator can remove a connected user from the user
list and make a license available for others.
Features
 License Checkout/Borrowing
 Start/Stop Service
 View Logon Time
 Remove connected users

modeling and studies, options to use device/equipment rating or fundamental frequency load flow data as
harmonic current source or voltage source base, along with a new design of Harmonic Library to allow
user inputting harmonic spectrum up to 250th harmonic order, or automatically populating harmonic
order, magnitude and phase angle based on power converter pulse number and other parameters.
Features
 Interharmonic modeling & simulation
 Perform voltage flicker limitation studies
 Interharmonic distortion indices calculation based on IEC 61000-4-7
 Handling of harmonic order up to 250th order
 Automatic interharmonic frequency generation
 Manual or automatic harmonic spectrum generation
 Adjustable harmonic current base
Open Phase Simulation by Unbalanced Load Flow Analysis

The Unbalanced Load Flow Analysis module has been enhanced to accurately simulate steady-state open-
phase conditions of power systems. An open-phase condition (on phase A, B, or C) can be studied by
placing a graphical icon on the one-line diagram at the terminal of branch. In order to study this
extremely unbalanced operating conditions, induction motor models have been enhanced in the
unbalanced load flow calculations.
Features
 Open-Phase A, B, or C phase
 Modeling of 2-winding and 3-winding transformer excitation branch
 Include buried delta winding for 2-winding and 3-winding transformers
 Report sequence values of voltages and current flows
AC & DC Arc Flash Analysis

The arc flash analysis module was significantly enhanced with many features requested to handle specific
problems and conditions encountered for many types of power systems. The enhanced systems include
those with a lot renewable energy sources and extremely complex multiple energy source configurations.
The highlight enhancement or new feature for this module is the AFSQOP tool. The arc flash sequence
of operation (AFSQOP) tool enhances the graphical analysis of the power system protection behavior
under “arc fault” conditions. The fault insertion, arc flash result analyzer and sequence viewer tools help
to determine what is the effect of the arc fault conditions like current variation and decay, missing
energized sources and miscoordination issues. AFSQOP however has taken the individual fault analysis
to the next level by storing and playing back the sequence of events for every faulted location. Combined
with the ETAP STAR sequence of operation tool, ETAP now has two simulators to show the behavior of
protected devices under both bolted and arcing fault conditions.

 Graphical Simulation of 3 & 1-Phase Arc Flash Sequence-of-Operation
 Tabulated display of protective device trip sequence using the “Arc Flash SQOP Viewer
5
 Single Arc Fault Insertion Tool
 Playback of multiple arc flash sequence of operation using the arc flash result analyzer
 Sequence of operation playback speed controls (to speed up slow down or remove the sequence
flashing on the one-line diagram)
 Two user-defined modes of operation for the AFSQOP to display first de-energizing PD only or
to view multiple source PD operations
 Exporting to MS Excel of all protective device sequence of operation
 Automatic verification of protective device short-circuit duty using bolted fault currents prior to
arc flash calculation.
 Enhanced source protective device search capability for systems with multiple energizing sources
(including renewable energy)
 Saving of all settings and display preferences in the Arc Flash result analyzer, including more
significant figures and additional filtering tools.
 Non-modal AFRA to aid in the analysis and to take advantage of multiple monitors
 User-definable Cf for low voltage equipment incident energy (IEEE 1584-2002 empirical
method)
 Enhanced display of results on the one-line diagram including the fault clearing time
 Use the “Maximum Fault Clearing Time” time setting to determine incident energy when the
fault clearing time is unavailable
 DC Photovoltaic System Arc Flash calculation which includes iterative method solution based on
the operating point on the PV curves.
 Added additional information fields to start collecting information about conductor
configurations (i.e. vertical in a box, horizontal in a box, vertical open air, etc). These fields are
for information only in preparation for upcoming new changes to IEEE 1584 guidelines.
 Enhanced handling of tie-protective device configurations. Allow different equipment type
configurations across a tie-pd bus. The worst-case incident energy is reported for the tie-pd.
 Enhanced handling of automatic incident energy assignment for low voltage equipment. This
enhancement allows for assignment of actual incident energy value rather than a hazard/risk
category. Also, it allows for the use of this tool with the NFPA 70E 2012 PPE requirements (for
arc flash analysis method based on annex H of the standard).
Switching Sequence Management

Switching Management is an easy to use module in ETAP that allows the engineer/dispatcher to build and
simulate a complete switching sequence using a graphical user interface and execute the switching plan.
The switching sequence contains a list of switching devices and time of execution for circuit breakers,
load disconnects, and ground disconnects. Before any switching sequence is executed, the application
verifies whether the sequence is compliant with safety switching procedures and requests confirmation
during execution of each step before proceeding to the next step in order to avoid inadvertent switching.
Switching plan may be configured for automatic transfer of bus loads on double-ended bus configurations
thus replacing the step-by-step method of switching for double-ended bus configurations that require
manual bus load transfer. Switching sequences can be ranked based on de-energized time, non-delivered
energy, and the order of switching allowing easy comparison between different variations of the plan.
Features
 User-friendly switching plan builder
6
 Point & click selection of switching device from the one-line diagrams
 Graphical display of selected switching devices
 Multi-level switching request approval
 Assignment of user-definable & interlock logic per each switching device
 Checking of selected switching plans against forbidden or potentially hazardous actions
 Unlimited switching plans each with an unlimited number of switching actions
 Switching order reports include switching mode, start / stop time, & nature of work
Simulate & evaluate switching plans in all states prior to execution

calculation in low voltage systems.

 Enhanced single phase cables with IEC symbols
 Enhanced capabilities in Electric Shock calculation
 Enhanced Electric Shock model input data
 Integration of the Electric Shock Results within TCC plots

ETAP 11.1.1
June 2012
ETAP is pleased to send you the enclosed ETAP 11.1.1 point release. ETAP 11.1.1 is a complete
program and does not require any previous ETAP installation.
ETAP 11.1.1 will utilize the same 36-Digit Activation Code as provided with the ETAP 11 series
release.
ETAP 11.1.1 Update

This point release is the latest in the ETAP 11 series and includes an important update to the earlier
11.1.0 release. ETAP 11.1.1 is issued as a fix to an incident detected in ETAP 11.1.0 release that is
related to the Star – Protection Device Coordination module.
The elements inside Composite Networks become de-energized when a Composite Network is selected
and a Star View (TCC) is generated. This problem does not affect Composite Motor or the data in the
selected Composite Networks.
If this issue is detected in your project, ETAP 11.1.1 will automatically fix the problems with the
disabled Composite Networks upon opening the project file.
The list of fixed Composite Networks is placed in a conversion log located in the converted project
directory.
Note that in ETAP 11.1.0 the elements within the disabled Composite Networks were de-energized and
thus ignored in network analysis. After the project conversion, it is recommended to review any study
involving the listed disabled Composite Networks.

DC Arc Flash Analysis
The ETAP DC Arc Flash analysis module uses several methods to determine the level of incident energy
which can be generated by different direct-current electric circuits. The program is fully integrated into
the ETAP DC Short-Circuit calculation program which has been an industry standard for the analysis of
DC equipment faults for many years. The program can be used to determine the arc flash energy for
industrial, nuclear, data centers, electrochemical, petrochemical and any other DC electrical applications.
The DC arc flash incident energy and arc flash boundaries are determined based on the equations and
methodology presented in the following documents
 National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 70E-2012

 DC Arc Models and Incident Energy Calculations Paper No. PCIC-2009-07
 Arc Flash Calculation for Exposures to DC Systems, IEEE Transactions on Industry

New Features
Arc Flash Custom Labels
Many labels need to be customized according to different regulations or preferences (i.e., CSAZ462,
NFPA 70E, NEC, ANSI Z535, etc.). ETAP 7.1.0 brings the capability to create and print custom arc flash
labels based on different standards and safety requirements. Custom arc flash label templates can be
generated using Microsoft Word® and linked to a Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet database to populate the
label template with results from the arc flash calculation. Utilizing standard tools like Microsoft Excel and
Word allows you to have greater flexibility in customizing labels for your facility in compliance with
safety standards.
IEC Cable Ampacity – IEC 60364-5-52

The IEC cable ampacity calculations were added to allow the sizing process of cables per IEC 60364
(Low voltage electrical installations - Part 5-52: Selection and erection of electrical equipment - Wiring
systems) for additional cable installation types, such as open / ventilated channels, wire mesh, architrave /
window frame, and masonry.
IEC Cable Sizing – IEC 60364-4-43

Cable sizing based on IEC 60364-4-43 (Low-voltage electrical installations - Part 4-43: Protection for
safety - Protection against overcurrent) has been added to the list of sizing standards supported by ETAP.
IEC 60364-4-43 provides rules and regulations for inspecting and installing cables in electrical systems.
Other guidelines like BS 7671 follow this new guideline closely, but with some differences.
Enhanced Modules
Short Circuit
The ETAP Short Circuit module has been enhanced to check the fused and un-fused low voltage circuit
breaker rated kV per ANSI C37.11/ UL489 (Standard Requirements for Electrical Control for AC High
Voltage Breakers Rated on a Symmetrical Basis). This enhancement allows you to easily verify that the
correct voltage rating is used for your application.
Transient Stability
ETAP frequency-dependent modeling option for system component such as subtransient synchronous
machines, induction machines (single- and double-cage) and networks are now included as a standard
feature of the transient stability module. In the past, this option was available only with the purchase of
Generator Start-Up module.
Open Format Excel

ETAP Open Format is used to import data from custom Microsoft Excel® load lists / tabulations to
ETAP. Additional intelligence has been added to automatically handle blank rows, duplicate columns,
etc. Open format also detects if a single voltage value has been included in the load list and can
automatically consider that voltage for the bus and connected equipment.
2
SmartPlant Electrical Interface
The ETAP-SPEL Data Exchange Interface provides data synchronization between ETAP and Intergraph’s
SmartPlant Electrical (SPEL). In addition to bringing in a list of new connections, ETAP now provides a
list of modified connections based on changes being made in SPEL.
Control System Diagram (CSD)

ETAP has been enhanced to utilize the lower voltage value between two points in a voltage plot profile to
pass to CSD to allow for more conservative results.
Underground Thermal Analysis

Additional materials have been added to existing cable layers in the ETAP cable editor and library. These
additional materials include new cable armor, sheath and concentric wire options. These new materials
are considered by Underground Thermal Analysis. Sheath/Armor options now include all of the following
types:
Sheath/Armor Type
None St Armor/45dg/20w St Armor/45dg/80w Cu Concentric Wire
Lead Sheath St Armor/45dg/25w St Armor/45dg/90w Al Concentric Wire

Arc Flash Module - IEEE 1584

1) Automatic determination of all the Source and Load Protective Devices (PDs) for a faulted bus.
Source PDs are defined as PDs that are upstream to a faulted bus, through which fault current
contributions flow from generators and/or power grids. The program searches all radial branches
connected to the faulted bus, up to three bus levels away until multiple source branches are found.
The default number of ‘bus levels away’ can be changed to a maximum of 20 levels in the
etaps.ini file.
2) Enhanced Arc Flash page of Bus editor with new layout and features.
3) Added user-defined Source PDs capability to each bus. This allows more flexibility for the
determination of the fault clearing time.
4) Enhanced one-line diagram for display of results and the output reports to include the working
distance and warning flags.
IEC Short-Circuit Module – IEC 60909-0

1) Added capability to the two-winding transformers to select a unit generator to form a power
station unit.

Before performing calculation, users need to identify the unit transformers for power station
units. By doing this ETAP then automatically determines all the elements within the power
station units including their auxiliary systems, as well as network elements as defined by IEC
60909 Standard.
2) Enhanced the calculation of the breaking current (Ib) according to the adjustments described in
equation (75), page 115 of IEC 60909-0. The effect of equation (75) will reduce the breaking
current slightly. Note that this adjustment is considered optional and applies only to near
generators faults in mesh systems.
Device Coordination / Selectivity – Star

• Arc Flash Analysis using IEEE Std. 1584-2002 method

• Hyperlink
• Auto Project Backup
We encourage you to install this latest release to take advantage of the new features and capabilities.
Please contact OTI sales to purchase the new Arch Flash IEEE 1584 module. We are excited about
providing our customers with advanced features and industry standard engineering tools.
For more information, please take a few moments to read and review the information below:
Arc Flash IEEE 1584 Analysis NEW MODULE

The new ETAP module Arc Flash Analysis uses the IEEE Std. 1584-2002 method to estimate the arc
flash incident energy under a three-phase short-circuit fault and determines the flash protective boundary
to live parts for shock protection. The flash protection boundary is the distance a worker without wearing
flame-resistant personal protective equipment (PPE) must keep from equipment, which may cause
hazardous arc flash.
In the IEEE Std. 1584-2002 method, the empirically derived model is used for voltages in the range of
0.208-15kV. The theoretically derived Lee Model is used for voltage levels above 15kV. The
empirically derived model has a bolted fault current range of 0.7- 106kA. ETAP Arc Flash is available
for both ANSI and IEC Standards.
Arc Flash Analysis with NFPA 70E-2000 Standard continues to be an integral part of the ETAP Short
Circuit Analysis module.

Auto Project Backup NEW FEATURE

In order to maximize protection of your PowerStation projects and prevent loss of data due to hardware or
network failure, PowerStation is enhanced to maintain backup copies of project files. These backup files
are created when any of the following actions are performed:
˙ Conversion creates a back-up copy of current database prior to conversion.

˙ Opening a project: creates a temporary back-up copy after opening a project session.
˙ Closing a project: auto-saves backup file when closing a project session.
The auto backup feature can be turned off in the ETAPS.INI file. The default setting is set to “1” to
create backup. To stop auto-backup functions, set the INI file value to “0”.

October 2002
This release incorporates Cable Pulling, Transformer MVA Sizing, Transformer Tap Optimization, IEC
287 temperature analysis (Underground Raceway Systems), and Motor Parameter Estimation modules
into ETAP, making ETAP completely integrated within the Windows environment. In addition, hundreds
of enhancements have been added to the existing modules.
Following the tradition of ETAP integration of electrical and physical properties, the newly added
modules have been designed to fully integrate with existing modules to eliminate multiple instances of the
similar data. For example, the Cable Pulling module uses the data from the existing cables in your ETAP
project files. Thus, the data for a single cable can be used for:
Network analyses such as load flow, short-circuit, etc.

Cable raceway thermal analyses for temperature and sizing calculations
Cable I2t curve for protective device coordination
Cable pulling analyses for tensions and sidewall pressure calculations
With ETAP, you can model, design, analyze, and optimize your electrical systems. This integration of
data provides consistency throughout the project and eliminates repetitive data entry for the same
element. This in turn reduces the time required to model and analyze a power system in its entirety,
which results in time and cost savings.
