Cable Sizing Software

ETAP Cable Sizing software provides various options which can be used for design requirements. These design requirements can be user-defined or automatically determined from load flow, short circuit, and protective device calculation results. 
Cable Sizing

ETAP cable sizing study module calculates optimal and alternative cable sizes for phase conductors based on the following criteria:

  • Load current
  • Voltage drop
  • Motor minimum starting voltage
  • Short circuit current
  • Protective device requirements
  • Harmonic Spectrum

Cable Sizing Software Key Features

  • Cable parameters and calculation results
