    Protection & Coordination Rule Book

    Protection rules are applied to evaluate the settings of the protective devices for equipment protection against possible damage. Coordination rules help identify the time-overcurrent conflicts between downstream and upstream protective devices to help you set the optimal setting.

    ETAP Star RuleBook offers a set of default rules based on industry standards and guidelines. You can customized and apply different evaluation criteria rules based your company / industry practices.
