It is extremely practical when using the Star module, since when running the shortcuts it shows in a real way how they cut the protection curves, in the same way it shows in a very dynamic way the performance of the protection equipment (relays, fuses, contactors) in order and time in order to efficiently diagnose a coordination, existing or proposed. > > **Cons**: Given the existence of several libraries, many users could be carried away by the data that has predefined the software and would not be motivated to look for the real field information, I have made simulations with both information to compare and give very similar, but can arrive tend to trust the user in case there may be data that does not match reality. I have had several complications when updating the versions, since once I have updated the document to a latest available version, it does not allow me to open it in a previous version. ----- ### "ETAP Software for Electrical Engineers" — 5.0/5 > **Radha Krishna** | *21 September 2019* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: User friendly, flexibility to open. Abundant library files for each electrical components like relays, circuit breakers, etc., Running the program and easy understanding of the analysis at the finger tip of the user > > **Cons**: Hardlock dongle makes it difficult to enter the power plant in Middle east, instead it should have be software controlled dongle. In Middle east Power plants controlled by Military team it is not allowed to enter USB or pendrive or any external harddrive devices. Hence request to look into the solution of Software opening with softlock key. Even though some of Library files are available with ETAP team, it is not send as a whole package with the latest Software version, need to request the same through the ticket. When Arc Flash is running it takes couple of mins to come back to normal screen. Instead an progress bar display will help user to understand the estimated time to complete calculation. > > I am working with Arc Flash Hazard Study to generate Arc Flash labels. Hence need to use Short-circuit, Protection co-ordination study software's as well. I am very much impressed with the software builder keeping in mind the user flexibility and moreover libraries its tested and provides users on Electrical components like relays, breakers etc., ----- ### "Depends on what you are looking for in Power Systesm Software" — 3.0/5 > **Jim** | *23 September 2019* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Flexibility, but it comes with some sever downsides > > **Cons**: The user interface, both in getting data in to the software, and getting useable results back out. > > Power Systems issues. Wow this "survey" is really a "one size fits none" bit of work isn't it. ----- ### "ETAP Review" — 5.0/5 > **Christopher** | *14 September 2021* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can make a model very quickly and run cases as fast as can design them. Allows for quick answers to customer/management questions. > > **Cons**: Having dongle identification trouble. I have to reset License Manager EVERY time. The regular start cannot see it. Run LM and then I run ETAP. Printing setup could be easier to use. Having trouble with printing output not changing. I have a ticket open now on it. Would to turn off data from certain buses and lines. I do not need to see all when it turn it on in the display options. Just certain buses. It muddies the screen. TCC could be easier to use. > > It is an excellent package and its my right hand. I could not do my jobs without it. Also thanks for the outstanding tech help\!\!\! ----- ### "User-friendly Electrical Modelling" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 May 2020* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Etap has a wide variety of equipment that can be connected - The help function is very well put together, for every single user interface window - Highly customizable for reporting > > **Cons**: - Sometimes difficult to print a Single Line Diagram as intended - VFDs typical show overloaded, even if the rating of the drive matches the motor, and that issue has not been resolved, as far as I know, even if it was pointed out several years ago - Training from etap is a must to use the software properly, especially the case scenario options > > Etap is very useful for an electrical engineer, and is fantastic to model electrical systems. It allows you to complete many different types of studies, from load flow to arc flash, grounding, and many more. Certain modules are sold separately, such as the harmonic study and motor starting modules, which is fine, but can get expensive if you need all of them, but only sporadicly. Customer support has been pretty good, they will assist you when you have technical questions on how to model certain things, or if the library does not have a specific model of breaker, for example. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/87535/etap-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/87535/etap-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
