One-Line Diagram
ETAP One-Line Diagram is a user-friendly interface for creating and managing the network database used for
schematic network visualization. Using features such as the intelligent one-line diagram, multi-level nesting
of sub-systems, multi-color symbols, interfaces for management of switching devices, and a unique multi-
dimensional database you can interactively model, monitor, and manage the electrical network as well as
execute simulation scenarios and analyze their results in a simple and intuitive manner.
ETAP 6.0 adds an extensive list of new features to the intelligent one-line diagram, propelling day-to-day system
modeling and design tasks to a new level of speed, ease, and accuracy than ever before.

Short-Circuit Device Duty Calculation & Evaluation – ANSI / IEC
In addition to 3-phase systems, the Short-Circuit Analysis module has been enhanced to include device duty
calculation and evaluation.
Multi-Phase Systems
UPS Systems
Panel Systems
ANSI and IEC standards are available for calculating short circuit current for parts of the network
below main panels, sub panels, UPS, and phase adapters. Device duty calculation compares the
calculated fault current from these networks for evaluation of protective devices and automatically
generates critical and marginal alerts based on user-defined alarm limits.
