Tick Load Amp to use standard cable ampacity
It means ETAP will select based on load FLA witho
ut concern with Voltage drop
Tick Vst Min to use calculated Voltage Start Minimum
It means ETAP will select based on Voltage Drop when Sta
rting Motor
Tick Short Circuit use calculated current withstand
It means ETAP will select based on shortcircuit current (we
will discuss later after I study about this)
Tick Short Circuit use calculated current withstand
It means ETAP will select based on shortcircuit current (we
will discuss later after I study about this)
Tick MF (multiplication factor)
It means ETAP will select based on multiplication factor reg
arding with the application (we will discuss later after I stud
y about this)
Tick Load Amp and Vst to combine the calculation
It means ETAP will select based on FLA and Voltage start
Load Flow
Change The cable sizing calculation
Using Motor starting simulation to calculate Vst
As we can see, even we set the Vst to 95% the result is 86.5%
