Recommendations of short circuit software
Recommendations of short circuit software
(OP)
Hello,
I am considering purchasing some ETAP-type software for short circuit studies, protective device coordination, and load flow analysis. This would be for small systems, less than 100 buses. I have a limited budget. I am familiar with ETAP, and it seems to be easy enough to use. However, I was wondering if someone knows of a comparable software for less money.
thanks

if you do not have long term use, you may rent ETAP for a specified period of time or maybe include the cost into your contract whichever is feasible for you and your client.

Yes, I think you are correct. I've been getting prices over the past week. I've looked at ETAP, SKM, and EasyPower. So far SKM is quite a bit cheaper and it seems to come with the most applications for a basic system.
