Power System Studies
ETAP Simulation Studies
Detailed ETAP modelling and analysis of industrial and utility electrical networks, giving you confidence that your system is correctly sized, safe and ready for expansion.
Studies we perform in ETAP
- Load flow and voltage drop
- Short circuit and equipment duty
- Arc flash hazard analysis
- Motor starting and harmonics
Overview
Know how your network behaves before problems occur
Plant expansions, new transformers, generators and solar plants all change how your electrical system behaves. Without studies, cables overheat, breakers are under-rated and protection fails to clear faults properly.
DCPS builds an accurate ETAP model of your network from single-line diagrams, nameplate data and site surveys, then runs the studies your project needs. We apply international standards such as IEC 60909 for short circuit and IEEE 1584 for arc flash, and translate the results into clear, practical recommendations.
The validated model is handed over to you, so it can be reused for future modifications, audits and operator training.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What data do you need to start an ETAP study?
Single-line diagrams, transformer, cable, generator, motor and breaker data are the starting point. Where data is missing, our team collects it during a site survey.
Do we receive the ETAP model?
Yes. The model is handed over so it can be updated as your system changes.
How long does a study take?
Duration depends on network size and the number of studies. Most industrial studies take a few weeks from data collection to final report.
Why is an arc flash study important?
It quantifies the energy a worker could be exposed to during a fault, sets the correct PPE and often reveals protection settings that can reduce the hazard.
