Panel Boards:
They are a collection of branch circuits feeding system loads
Panel System is used for representing power and lighting panels
in electrical systems
Advantages:
1. Easier Data Entry
2. Concise System
Representation
Pin Assignment:
Pin 0 is the top pin of the panel
ETAP allows up to 24 external load connections
Load LoadB
Therefore, for load connected between phases B and C: For load connected to phase B
SC = VC.IC
PC = VC.IC.cos ( + 30)
QC = VC.IC.sin ( + 30)

Intelligent kV Calculation
If a 1-Phase panel is connected to a 3-Phase bus
having a nominal voltage equal to 0.48 kV, the
default rated kV of the panel is set to (0.48/1.732
=) 0.277 kV
