ETAP DC Short Circuit Analysis complies with IEC 61660 standard, targeting dc auxiliary systems in power plants and substations.
Short circuit calculations present challenges for DC Systems equipped with rectifiers, DC Smoothing Capacitors, DC Motors, and Batteries. The computations outlined by IEC 61660 attempt to accurately model the dynamic contributions of these elements for the proper determination of protective device ratings.
Integrating the IEC 61660 standard into the ETAP ecosystem guarantees the integrity of the results as well as its capabilities. The ability to assess the outcome of a study is greatly enhanced by being able to view immediate results on the single line diagram, generate comprehensive reports, interact with plots, and have automatic device duty evaluations.
ETAP provides a complete element model in accordance with IEC 61660 in addition to elements not specified in the standard. This includes lithium-ion batteries, UPS, photo-voltaic cells, and protective devices.
