transformer sizing & tap optimization software

ETAP follows recommended procedures to determine the required transformer size based on the use of factors including altitude, temperature, insulation, number of phases, cooling stage, etc.

ETAP enables you to use the operating values from load flow calculations or use total connected load as represented in the one-line diagrams. Tap Optimization enables you to plot the Mvar delivery curve versus generator voltage.
