ETAP Power System Analysis: Load Flow, Short Circuit, Protection, Arc Flash and Stability
The power-system studies every substation, plant and data-centre project needs, done in ETAP: single-line modelling, load flow and the per-unit system, cable and transformer sizing, short circuit by IEC 60909 and ANSI, relay setting and coordination with Star view, differential, distance, busbar and motor protection, arc flash, capacitor placement and power factor, motor starting and re-acceleration, transient stability, harmonics and filters, and earthing grid design.
What you will learn
Build a single-line diagram in ETAP with correctly modelled sources, transformers, cables, motors and loads, run and interpret load flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, arc flash, motor starting, transient stability, harmonic and ground-grid studies, size cables, transformers, capacitor banks and breakers from the results, and produce the reports a consultant or utility expects.
- Model a network in ETAP with nameplate data and run load flow
- Size cables and transformers and use tap changers
- Run IEC 60909 and ANSI short circuit and select breakers by device duty
- Set and coordinate overcurrent, differential, distance and motor protection in Star view
- Run arc flash, capacitor placement, motor starting, stability and harmonic studies
- Design a substation earthing grid to IEEE 80

The course itself stays free whether or not you ever buy one.
Stuck? Ask a practising engineer
A free course usually means a comment section and hope. This one does not. Every module has an Ask-your-trainer panel that reaches the same engineers who teach our paid programme: people who commission panels for a living, not moderators.
- Questions answered in the context of the module you are on
- The same engineers who teach the AEP programme
- Career tools, CV help and public job listings included
- Your progress and notes stay in your account for good

Common questions
Do I need an ETAP licence?
The demo and student editions cover most exercises; the course teaches the method so it transfers to any release or to a licensed seat at work.
Is this a power-systems theory course?
It is applied: every study is introduced with the theory needed to set it up and read the result, then run in ETAP.
Which industries use these studies?
Utilities, EPC contractors, industrial plants, data centres, oil and gas, renewables and every consultant who signs an electrical design.
Is the course really free?
Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.
What certificate do I get, and is it a vendor qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a vendor credential and is never described as one.
