Transcripts
hey and welcome everyone to our course
for ETA program so you will find here we
are going to use in this course the ETA
12.6 why is ETA 12.6 because this
version of a tab is available online
okay so you can download this you can
find the links online and download this
version in order to start a training on
the ETA program and another thing that
the newer versions like a tab 18 for
example it has more features but the
same concept okay the outline or the
tool parts all the components of a tab
are similar to each other not just some
features it changes inside the program
okay so first we when you open the ETA
program will find this window so what is
the first step
first click on file then new project or
you can click on this one in order to
create a new project like this then you
will add an inny name for the project
for example mat one okay then you will
be asking for the unit system you would
like it an English or metric system for
me I use the metric system okay and you
can find that location by clicking on
browse you can put the allocation of
your own project in order to open it
anytime then we are going to click on OK
project yes ok then you'll type your own
username or full-name and scription ok
anything you would like to add as an
information for your own user who is
going to using this project then click
on OK now at the beginning you'll find
here this what happens at some tool
parts appeared and you'll find that most
important one is this one which is the
edit mode
then maximize this one which is called
the one-line view okay now we would like
to discuss in this small video we would
like to discuss first Z toolbars a
general overview on the toolbars we are
going of course in details when we are
going to discuss each of the features
use the PI ETA so find here's the first
one here this one since part is called
Design Systems tool parts if you go on
any of them will find projective view
one line diagram or the single line
diagram here star systems the
underground Raceway systems the ground
grid system and etc so all of this are
considered as systems okay then you will
find the hill down here the wizard okay
soon our wizard a study wizard and
etcetera project wizard and etc so this
is called the project tool part or a
wizard the tool part this one is a
wizard of the toolbar this one is called
the system's a toolbar then we are going
to have the mode toolbar as this one
says part is called the mode toolbar you
will find the first one which is the
edit mode the edit mode and we are
selecting here for example one line
diagram here we are going to draw by
clicking this pencil here we will have
the option in order to draw the single
line diagram by adding a power system or
a grid transformer passports and etc so
by clicking here we will do the edit
mode the first one which we are going to
draws our system or our system then you
will find here the different modes for
example here is a load flow analysis
here's a short circuit analysis and etc
the different modes which we can apply
on our single line diagram so the second
one third one is called desire
percentage tool power okay this one will
be more obvious in the neck
videos then we will have our this one is
called that menu toolbar this one is
very obvious we have here's a new
project open a project saving a project
or printing is a project and print view
and etc some options which will help you
in your own analysis okay or in your own
viewing of the project now you'll find
here there is a calculator called the
power calculator where you can adhere
the fit as a fix at one where is the fix
it values at mega volt ampere or the
mega watt or the power factor or mega
power and you can add your own value for
mega watt for example here you can add
any value for example 100 mega watt and
the mega watt is a fixed at 1
you let here the voltage for example 22
kilo volt okay and you can change the
power factor for example eighty percent
or ninety eighty percent perfect okay
you will see what happened here is that
the program automatically calculated the
mega watt equivalent the mega volt
ampere the a 22 kilo volt is the one
which we input to the program and it
provides you with the current okay so
again we have here for example the mega
watt is a fixed set value so we bought a
hundred mega watt and we assumed an
eighty percent power factor what will
happen the program will give you that
mega power and mega volt and their
equivalent to this tool okay now for the
ampere we have the S or the apparent
power and we have the input 22 kilo volt
so and the power factor and of course
the program automatically will calculate
the current for our system okay and you
can choose here between having Omega 4
or kilo watt okay
instead of mega you can put it as a kilo
like this okay
and you here fix it means that we the
value which we ambit does not change for
example if I choose megavolt and beer as
a constant you will find here make a
volt ampere 125 let's make it 150 for
example you will find all of the other
values it change it but the mega volt
ampere is a constant because we choose
it as a constant here okay now the next
tool power is called the main tool power
this one you will see here we have the
file we have the edit we have the view
all of the options which is very
familiar in all of the programs here you
will find here we have the project here
you can add the information for your own
project click on it you will type the
project title the allocations contract
engineer remarks comments and etc zis
are going or will be found inside the
report for the little program and you'll
find here we have another thing which is
in the projects we have also the
standards
what is the standards you are working
with already working with the IEC or the
a and C code okay IEC or ads you will
find that both of them will change the
standard you are using with and another
thing the samples here samples the
changes of course with the standards
such as the power grid the transformers
and its other changes according of
course to the standard if it is IEC or
ends you'll find here the frequencies
it's a 50 or or 60 Hertz or whatever it
is the frequency which you are working
with the unit system is a metric or
English and they'd form whatever it is
okay so from this you can change that
frequency the standard you are working
with IEC or the ANSI code and etc now
one other thing we can go here also in
the project settings you will find
different settings here such as that
loading
degrees if you click on it you will find
here we have the design normal break
winter load you can add change this one
to any name you would like okay you will
find this ten names with their own
equivalent values inside the equipment
which we are going to use inside the
system so when you double-click on any
element and you would like to edit the
megavolt and bear a voltage and etc you
will find equivalent values to this ten
categories okay you can change it as you
would like now another sync is a library
or in the project options you will find
here the project options we would like
to have an autosave every 30 minutes
okay
and you can make the OP safe for example
for each 10 minutes as an example and
here you will find you can take it or
remove it as you would like okay now
another thing is a library a library is
important you will find here the
libraries which is found inside a
program for the cables the motors the
fuse relays and etcetera different
elements which are going to use and the
library according to the industry
companies for example if we click on
that relay for example you will find
here's a relay library you will find a
PPE and the front companies which
produces a relay inside the eater
program and you can find here the models
ok you will find here some models and
you'll find here the application for it
ok each of this model and you'll find
here is a functions for each of this
model ok now if you would like if you
would like to add a company or relay
which does not exist inside the library
of a tab you can simply click on add
then you will find the types are
manufactured for example
anything okay and the reference and the
link okay this is not important but the
most important is the manufacturer then
click on ok then the next step is I
would like we have here our manufacturer
here which we added ok and would like
for example to add the protection type
by clicking here protection type or we
are protecting a motor generator or a
general purpose okay for example general
purpose what is the function is it as an
overcurrent distance or differential or
whatever it is click on function you can
choose whatever you'd like for example
at friendship and over cont or we can
choose of our current for now as a
single function okay then I would like
to add a model ok here you can filter ok
the filter which will give you all of
the models which will give you the
protection type and the function of
course we don't have anything because it
is a new manufacturer we added it so if
I would like to add a model to the
program click on add then you will find
here is a model name any name and number
one you will find the relay type is it
electronic or electromechanical relay
what is the type of this relay it is
electronic or electromechanical another
thing it is has a single function one
function such as overcurrent
differential or distance or whatever or
does it have a multiply functions if we
click a single function you will find
here differential over current of a load
of a load in line and each other
if I select multiple functions you can
click here and here so we have now a
multi function relay for example we will
select a single and the protection type
is it protecting what motor or generator
or a general or a pass or a transformer
or a feed or whatever it is we will
choose for example a general one
and relay type electromechanical okay
now we will find the trip elements okay
we know this values which is equivalent
to the type of the relay protection
function instantaneous time over current
is it have a bi-directional function
where it detects the direction of the
current and etc you will find here
different elements or functions for the
relay not only the over current but the
over current itself having instantaneous
or time over current or a direction and
each other and you can complete the
current ratings and the PD inputs and
its other all of these values can find
from the datasheet for the relay you are
inputting inside the program now click
on cancel because we don't like to add
this useless relay delete this category
which we added is close and maximize our
edit mode now another thing we have the
elements which we would like to add this
one which is called the elements toolbar
you'll find this part you will find one
two and three three toolbars three
elements toolbars this one representing
the AEC elements all the alternating
current elements this one which is below
here on the right side is for the DC
components or DC elements direct current
elements this one is used for the
protection elements or protection and
measurements elements okay so you can
use all of this to draw the single line
diagram okay so this was a simple video
which is always an overview about the
eat AB program
