Learn How ETAP Transforms Long Power Study Reports into Engaging, Interactive Presentations

I don't expect 80% of people to read and understand the SCCAF Report (Short Circuit Coordination Arc Flash Report), but I know 80% of them will enjoy the final interactive videos.

Making a Short Circuit Coordination Arc Flash Report understandable for the audience

Challenges

  • Identifying the appropriate tool to create a high-quality Short Circuit Coordination Arc Flash Report that complies with industry standards and learning it.
  • Delivering a report understandable to electrical and non-electrical audiences, facilitating informed and acceptable decision-making by including typical cases and emergency scenarios.
  • Analyzing cases and operations with clear visualizations of processes, ensuring that real-time simulations are presented in an accessible manner.

Which solutions do they choose?

Selected applications

They chose ETAP Safety & Protection Products like Arc Flash, Star, and others, to work in the easy, and flexible platform for distribution power systems.

The ETAP solution guaranteed combability with actual standards. 

Why do they use Etap?

Main Customer Benefits

  • Reducing the time required to complete the SCCAF report, and easy error correction on the actual digital model.
  • High-quality reporting using video presentation method, with online visibility and accessibility.
  • Possibility to show consecutive events, e.g. if we do not change the protection setting, overheating will occur as a consequence.
  • Controlling of coordination of protections with evaluative information about the facilities, and visualization.
  • Easy to generate similar reports in the future for the same customer.

What do they think about ETAP?

Opinions

ETAP has a cool feature called Sequence of operations. We will see if the protected devices are coordinated. [...] This sequence list will show you when each breaker opens, and we can then conclude if we have appropriate coordination on those breakers or if there is a fault.
By Ms. Thierry Epassa Director of Electrical Engineering at EEE company

Interactive visuals are the best tool to make people enjoy the report and make it vibrant. When facility owners understand what we do in SCCAF, they are willing to do what it takes to solve potential problems by using ETAP software.
