ETAP reviews
Commenti: Etap may be very beneficial for an electrical engineer, and is remarkable to new version electric systems. It lets you to finish many extraordinary varieties of studies, from load waft to arc flash, grounding, and plenty of more. Certain modules are bought separately, along with the harmonic and motor beginning modules. It can however get high-priced in case you want all of them, however simplest sporadicly. Customer assist has been quite good, they'll help you if you have technical questions about a way to version sure things, or if the library does now no longer have a particular version of breaker, for example
Aspetti positivi:
Comfortable while using the software program and smooth interpretation and attractiveness of results." "It could be very beneficial & beneficial device for each electric engineer. High degree Calculations may be accomplished very precisely & with excessive degree of accuracy." "I constantly loved operating with etap due to the high-satisfactory of the software program and correct results. Plus the truth that the reviews do not appear to be from a kind creator the manner SKM looks." "Etap could be very beneficial for an electrical engineer, and is first-rate to version electric systems."
Aspetti negativi:
"Various variations have mistakes that provoke new releases." " Some Problems with distinct faucet changer for parralel application. Its Hard to personalize a TCC curve." "Problems with the installation, the extrade from check model to complete model creates many problems." "It Lacks a few common products (e.g. cable library)."

Thank for you feedback. Just as with every other software, new releases may have minor bugs, that's why it is important to issues point release with fixes. ETAP is tested thoroughly prior to every release and as you know complies to high-impact standards requested by the nuclear industries world wide. ETAP had 100+ audits from independent auditors over the last 30 years, with an average of 3-5 audits per year. You can read more about standards and QA audits on our web site https://etap.com/audits
12 Years of Experience with ETAP Software
Commenti: Overall, I'm a happy customer with ETAP software. Good work team ETAP! :)
Aspetti positivi:
There are a few things in ETAP that are actually very attractive. 1. The very attractive thing about ETAP is its user-friendly graphical interface which is very attractive with state of the art graphical symbols having both IEC and ANSI options selectable on simple clicks along with color coding according to voltage levels. This helps visually a lot in classifying one's systems based on voltage levels. 2. Help Desk support is an excellent feature with FTP support area for large file handling. 3. One click report generation with study/scenario wizards saves a lot of time for complex projects.
Aspetti negativi:
There are a few things in ETAP that are actually annoying sometimes. 1. First is the dumpster. Once you delete an element, you can't simply undo to restore it from dumpster. You need to be super smart to get it back. The undo / redo should be smartly management as in many other software. It will save a lot of hassle and time. 2. Backward compatibility is also a major concern. Projects created in newer versions can't be opened in older versions at all which is required sometimes to review the work of contractors. It should have some backward compatibility, say, to 4 previous releases. 3. Static studies such as load flow, short circuit etc do not consider turbine rating to generate alerts as the same is needed in some plants where turbines are under-rated than associated generators. No documentation is also available in this regard. 4. Library updates are also not available until next version is released. Limited models are available for ASD/VFD drives for harmonic studies even for very common drives. One has to create every common model manually which takes a lot of time.

Comments for ETAP
Commenti: Good but something should be improved otherwise customer would seek for other brand.
Aspetti positivi:
User friendly and thus easy to use than any other power system analysis softwares.
Aspetti negativi:
Grounding system study is inferior than other competitor such as XGSLab, CDEGS. Main Ground Grid analysis of ETAP is suitable only for a simple soil condition. I experienced very difficult soil condition with resistivity in the range of 800-1500 Ohm-m which ETAP cannot help and Electricity Authority disapproved analysis using ETAP. Thus we have to seek for other software to solve the problem by modeling a customized grid conductor such as using clay covering bare copper conductor and analyze touch and step voltage. Cables sizing calculation still has no capability to calculate according to IEC60287 standard which calculate from heat transfer theory. I have to purchase other software, CYMCAP, to calculate correctly. So ETAP is used for power system analysis only except cables sizing calculation and grounding system study. Another cons is ETAP support. I experienced that sometime I found problem using ETAP in analyzing GCB, I asked ETAP for technical help but unfortunately EATP ignored my request and after several follow up I got a very simple words which is not any useful. I felt very bad with ETAP support team. I hope that ETAP support would be improved.

Thank you for your positive review and feedback. In regards to the items you pointed out in your review: 1) Harmonic Analysis: The new plot manager introduced with Version 18 should make results easier to compare. Is there a specific feature that you think we should add? 2) Taking More Time to Prepare TCC I would like to recommend trying our zones of protection viewer which sets the zones of protection and allows you to plot all the TCCs in one shot. The feature comes with protection device coordination. 3) Change TAG Nos. all at once: Feeture for future release 4) Prepare Any Component Library User Friendly. We have How-To tutorials https://youtu.be/oD4Ox7xzVTE or reach out to our ETAP HelpDesk & ask them to create these models for you. 5) Change Symbols from IEC to ANSI or vice versa: Select all the elements in your project, right-click and select symbol. You can then switch from ANSI and IEC symbols
Fabulous
Commenti:
I have not seen or been exposed to any power systems software that can even come close to comparing to ETAP and the Enterprise Family of Solutions oriented Software.
I use Arc Flash, Transient Stability, Ground Grid, LDFL, Short Circ, STAR religiously
Aspetti positivi:
I have been using this software for 30 years. I have been a ETAP Agent for 20 years. I have not seen or been exposed to any power systems software that can even come close to comparing to ETAP and the Enterprise Family of Solutions oriented Software.
Aspetti negativi:
That is has taken so long to get key modules developed such as Panel and the Distance Relay. It has cost me many oppertunities in sales.
Risposta di ETAP
5 anni fa
Thanks you for your feedback. As the saying goes, "good things take time, greater things even longer" Panel has been around since the earlier versions of our software. Distance Relay took a while to develop, verify, and validate since it does integrate with a lot of other analysis tools in our software suite. We also added a number of distance relays to our library which contain 1000s of settings and match the manufacturer 1:1. The module is now available and we have enhancements coming out in our next release ETAP 19.5.
Incredibly powerful with many improvements needed.
Commenti: We are solving the requirements set up by NFPA 70E and IEEE requirements to keep workers same.
Aspetti positivi:
TCC, Arc Flash and short circuit studies help keep facility personnel safe and help identify where changes are needed.
Aspetti negativi:
Running large study wizards needs to be able to produce the reports at the end. It is extramely troublesome to have to generate EACH report from a 200+ node compressor station where you have 20+ configurations for studies that are scheduled to run. Also printing TCC with the elements shown in the curves needs to be easier.

Powerful Software
Commenti: Overall it has been positive. It would be nice to have more higher level courses in my area. It is powerful software and takes some getting use to.
Aspetti positivi:
Very powerful software. I like the reports that can be generated. The star graphs are really nice and look good in reports. I like being able to set up macros, it makes running multiple test cases a lot easier.
Aspetti negativi:
I do not like that I have to buy a ton of modules just to get one feature. The experience thus far has been that we buy some modules and start performing a study. The results are not what we expect just to find out we are missing one feature that is in another module that we didnt buy. There seems to be little features that are important to other studies that are hidden within other, more expensive, modules and generally we do not need the entire other module, but have to buy it because we need the one feature to complete the study. There are also some minor bugs such as not being able to have an NGR monitoring relay on a zig zag transformer. We also ran into an issue modelling a Y-Y transformer. The ETAP software does not allow for the consideration of the tank effect. These issues have work arounds but its hard to explain to a client that ETAP doesn't have this built in so we have to use a work around. I also do not like that there is no save as ability. The save a copy of the file is weird.

Thank you for your great review. Since many modules work hand-in-hand it is sometimes necessary to get modules that will not apply to the cor or your project. We will make sure our developers receive the information from your review, so your suggestions can be taken into consideration in future releases. Contact your local ETAP representative about alternative or temporary use of module you may only need occasionally. in regards to "Save As" try Shift S.

Very good for heavy industrial power
Commenti: How power large motors on weaker power systems. Simulation of motor starting on large mobile machines. Determination of power quality impacts in the proposal stage. Performed alternate studies to verify alternate power system designs.
Aspetti positivi:
The ability to dynamically model wound rotor motor starting with a time variable liquid rheostat. A good library of multifunction electronic relays. A good library of electronic motor protection relays.
Aspetti negativi:
The library of basic TOC relays is not as complete as other packages. A lot of additional modules to buy and pay maintenance on. The wound rotor induction motor rheostat starting requires a chunk of calculations to get it in the form needed for ETAP. A lot of the ETAP trainers did not understand about wound rotor motor modeling and it took a while to get to the courses needed.

ETAP Software Review
Commenti: While initially I started using it almost exclusively to conduct studies (such as Arc Flash, Dynamic motor start transient, harmonics etc.) I now routinely find it easier to generate a power model as part of my "design" efforts for a new project and take advantage of it to validate cable sizing, voltage drops, selecting/procuring properly coordinated protective devices and determining required AIC ratings before specifying new electrical gear.
Aspetti positivi:
It is probably the most widely used power modeling software so it is easy to share with other users. All of its functions and device editors are "extremely" thorough offering an almost overwhelming number of study customization options. Overall, its use if fairly intuitive (but there is no substitute for attending a good old fashion class if you are a first time user). The online tutorials are excellent and tech support is great too.
Aspetti negativi:
Like most software, ETAP does have some quirks that a user needs to learn either by peer coaching or through painful firsthand trial & error.
