ETAP Base Package
ETAP Base Package is a set of core tools, embedded analysis modules, and engineering libraries that allow you to create, configure, customize, and manage your system model. Core tools allow you to quickly and easily build 3-phase and 1-phase AC and DC network one-line diagrams with unlimited buses and elements including detailed instrumentation and grounding components. Base Package includes an intelligent one-line diagram, element editors, configuration manager, report manager, project and study wizards, multi-dimensional database, theme manager, data exchange, and user access management. Embedded analysis modules such as Cable Ampacity, Cable Sizing, and Transmission Line Constants provide integrated as well as stand-alone capabilities to design, analyze, and size equipment. Engineering libraries provide complete verified and validated data based on equipment manufacturer’s published data.
Embedded Analysis Modules
- Cable Ampacity
- Cable Sizing

Output Report Data Comparator
ETAP provides a time-saving capability to automatically run multiple scenarios with different project files and verify their study results (load flow, short circuit, etc.) against benchmark reports (results obtained previously). Once set up, you can compare hundreds of study reports together with one action. This is also a great tool for the internal verification and validation of a new version of ETAP after initial installation, i.e., study results from the latest version of ETAP are automatically compared with results of older releases of ETAP with Pass/Fail flags.
