Many of the improvements seen in ETAP 7.0 were based on user suggestions and feedback, such as significant upgrades to templates and arc flash analysis . Users are able to create and utilize an unlimited number of one-line diagram templates faster and easier. The product’s newly enhanced arc flash analysis features allow users to quickly identify and analyze multiple high risk arc flash and shock hazard areas in their electrical system. ETAP 7.0 users can create professional reports and arc flash labels quickly and easily. The new arc flash result analyzer saves time by enabling users to analyze multiple reports from the same directory on one screen.

ETAP 7.0 also provides innovative new tools like Load Analyzer and Switching Management, while also enhancing its proven simulation modules and ETAP Real-time. For an in-depth description of all the upgrades to ETAP 7.0, download the New Feature brochure at www.etap.com/downloads/ETAP_70_Brochure.pdf
