About This Course
This course focuses on using ETAP (Electrical Transient and Analysis Program)
software for designing, analyzing, and optimizing protection systems.
ETAP is a powerful tool used in power system studies, and this course equips
protection engineers with the skills needed to effectively utilize ETAP for relay
coordination, protection device settings, and fault analysis.
NOTE: This training is based on ETAP 22 & Software will be available fo practicing
