ETAP Geospatial Electrical Diagram provides an editable environment for electrical assets and connectivity combined with geospatial data. Geospatial information can be imported from many third party systems or can be modeled directly within Geospatial Electrical Diagram. ETAP Geospatial Electrical Diagram automatically generates substation, equivalent circuit and feeder one-line diagrams using the corresponding geographical data of power distribution systems.
