ETAP Pros and Cons

As I use it frequently i.e. 5 times in a week and use numerous design features including load flow study, arc flash hazard in most of my projects. I can say that it is a software which is very easy to use and the project implementation does not take too much time. Moreover, the customer support is very fast.

One thing which can be a area of improvement is it's cost it should be reduced and they should give promo codes to the students who can not utilize this software just because they can't afford it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Has link updated standards , library is good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to honest. Only thing is more library needed for medium size Diesel driven genset Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Electrical trouble shooting,circuit analysis with international standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Payment,Plc tools, & documentation side is very poor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very useful for designing your conductor sizing. It is observed that many companies / designers use oversized cables. ETap calculates accurate cable sizing and saves a lot money from over sizing cables. Very useful for power analysis, fault current analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not open sourced, quite costly. Promotion of the product is highly required by giving basic version free to power generation and distribution companies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ETAP is must have software for power systems transient studies and short circuit analysis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its full registered version is expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Etap is an excellent work tool for power system analysis, which allows simulating single-line diagrams of power systems and simulating events such as load analysis, power flow, and short-circuit current calculation at the buses. In addition, it has a wide library of electrical components that facilitates the work, such as motors, electrical protections, and generators. My total recommendation if you work in power system studies is to use ETAP as a work tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ETAP is a program that has a compact and very versatile design where I have no complaints about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, good interface, Good simulation results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

overall the software is very good, i think more algorithms for MPPT should be added in it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Different modules for each simulation and user friendly on help option Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Improvement in Library is required and more simulations to be included Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Report of parameters and output of power line is easily generated this can be analyse easily through graphical and numerical representation. Engineer can easily work with this parameter and can take appropriate step to solve problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Server is slow and size of software is also more which takes time to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
