Now I have been studying an ETAP course on power projects. I learned important concepts in electrical engineering and got hands-on training in ETAP. This helped me understand load flow analysis, short circuit study, relay coordination, and arc flash study. I highly recommend this training program to other power engineers and recent graduates. The company persons and management were very helpful to me during the course period.
