AIM :- To study E-Tap Software.
Introduction
Procedure:-
The purpose of this tutorial is to show the fundamentals of building and manipulating a one-line
diagram in ETAP. Various elements will be added to the one-line view (OLV), and an
introduction to composite networks will be made. The figure below displays the one-line which
we will create.
Steps:-
1. Creating a New Project:-
Start ETAP Demo and select the option “New Project” for this tutorial.
2. Adding Elements to the One-Live View:-
To build or edit a one-line diagram in ETAP, you must be in Edit Mode. Click the
Edit button on the Mode toolbar.
On the AC Edit toolbar, select a Power Grid (Utility) element by clicking on the
Power Grid button. The cursor will change to the Power Grid icon when moving over
the OLV. Click anywhere in the OLV to place a Utility on your one-line diagram.
By following the same procedure, insert the following elements until your one-line
appears as follows:
Double-clicking on an element button allows you to drop it more than once. When
finished just press the Esc key.
You can zoom in, zoom out, and zoom to fit page the OLV by clicking on the respective
buttons located in the Project Toolbar.
You can stretch buses by placing the mouse pointer over either end of the bus, until a
double arrow appears. Then click and drag to the desired length.
3. Connecting Elements:-
Now connect the elements in the one-line. Place the mouse pointer over the
connection pin of an element, and it will turn red. Then click and drag to the
connection pin of another element. Follow this procedure to connect all the elements
on the one-line. In the case of buses, the entire element graphic functions as a
connection point. Notice that a node is automatically inserted when connecting the
cable to the transformer.
You can change the size, orientation and symbol standard for an element by right-clicking
on the element and selecting the attribute you would like to change.
Power Grid U1
1250 MVAsc
X/R = 120
Cable1
NEC 5.0kV 3/C
CU, 133%
Size = 4/0
Length = 200ft
Transformer T1
Prim. kV = 4.16kV
Sec. kV = 0.48kV
20 MVA
Motor Mtr1
400 HP
Enter the values for the elements shown in the figure above referring to the Editing
Element Properties leaflet. Notice how the voltage of the buses are automatically
updated to the value of the primary and secondary kV entered into the transformer
properties.
Ensure that there is enough room between the elements you wish to add a PD. Adding
a PD to your one-line does not require you to delete the line connecting the elements,
instead, insert the PD on to the line where you like it to be. The PD will automatically
connect to the line. Follow this procedure to add the remaining PDs shown in the final
one-line.
To check if an element is energized click on the continuity icon located in the project
toolbar. All elements that are not energized will be grayed out. For example, with the
continuity check on, open CB4. As shown in the figure to the right, CB4 and elements
downstream are grayed out
Creating a one-line diagram in ETAP is fast and easy. Once complete, you can take
full advantage of all the powerful tools that ETAP has to offer.
Experiment no. 3
Aim:- To study symmetrical fault level analysis of a multi-bus power system using soft-
techniques.
Circuit:-
Theory:-
It's very important to understand the meaning of the term "short-circuit fault." Basically, a
short-circuit fault in a power system is an abnormal condition that involves one or more
phases unintentionally coming in contact with ground or each other. Thus, short-circuit
protection is necessary to protect personnel and apparatus from the destructive effects of the
resulting excessive current flow, which is caused by the relatively low impedance of the
short-circuit fault connection.
Where does fault current come from? Basically, it comes from rotating electric machinery,
usually in the form of synchronous generators, synchronous motors and condensers,
induction machines, and electric utility systems. The magnitude of fault current from these
sources is limited by the impedance of the machine itself as well as the impedance between
the machine and the fault itself.
Because a synchronous generator has a prime mover and an externally excited field, its fault
current will continue unless interrupted by some switching means.
Synchronous motors and condensers supply current to a fault in much the same way as
synchronous generators; however, their fault current diminishes as their magnetic fields
decay. Induction motor fault current is generated by inertia that is driving the motor in the
presence of a field flux, which is produced by induction from the motor's stator.

“Prompt.”If “Prompt” is selected then prior to running the Short Circuit Analysis
you will be prompted to enter a report name.
3. From the Study Case toolbar, click the Edit Study Case button. This will open the
Short Circuit Study Case editor, allowing you to change calculation criteria and
options. From the Info page, choose a bus or multiple buses to be faulted. Click all
buses except Sub and select ~Fault>> to place them in the Don’t Fault category.
Click OK when finished.

techniques for Single line to ground fault.

Theory:-
The single line-to-ground fault, the most common type, is caused by lightning or by
Conductors making contact with grounded structures. A single line-to-ground fault on phase

balanced faults as it causes un-balance in the system.
