Smart Electrical is shipped with a fixed default mapping of ETAP elements and Smart Electrical equipment. The table below shows this default mapping.
Note that in cases where the mapping is "many-to-one", you must define the type by specifying the identifier that you select from the Equipment Type Identifier select list (shown here in SEL Equipment Type Identifier column).

Inverters
ETAP inverters are published to Smart Electrical as other converting equipment items. Therefore, when retrieving an inverter to Smart Electrical or publishing other converting equipment items that emulate inverters, make sure that you do the following:
-
The other converting equipment item that emulates an inverter must be connected to a DC power supply and its AC/DC power supply flag must be set to DC.
Junction Boxes
When publishing junction boxes from Smart Electrical to ETAP, ETAP retrieves these items as bus nodes. When ETAP users publish this bus back to Smart Electrical, it is retrieved as a junction box and its circuit is retrieved as a panel circuit.
Local Panels and Their Panel Circuits
When exporting a local panel with or without its panel circuit to ETAP, it is retrieved as a bus. When ETAP users publish this bus back to Smart Electrical, it is retrieved as a local panel and the circuit is retrieved as a panel circuit.
Potential Transformers
There are special rules when publishing and retrieving potential transformers.
Publishing Potential Transformers to ETAP
-
Potential transformers that function as metering equipment are not published.
-
A potential transformer created in a feeder or coupler circuit is published with the bus functioning as the power source of the potential transformer. In ETAP, the potential transformer is retrieved connected below the bus.
-
Stand-alone potential transformers are published connected to their equipment as they exist in the electrical flow.
Retrieving Potential Transformers from ETAP
-
If a potential transformer is connected upstream to a bus and a power source, it is retrieved as a circuit internal of an incomer which is connected to the bus.
-
If a potential transformer is connected under a bus, it is retrieved as a circuit internal of a feeder which is connected to the bus.
-
If a potential transformer is connected to one of the ends of a bus, it is retrieved as a circuit internal of an additional feeder which is connected to the bus.
Unsupported Items
A number of items are not supported by the ETAP - Smart Electrical interface. Publishing an unsupported item can have the following possible results:
-
Items could be skipped or ignored in the importing application. After exporting these items back to the original application, they may be deleted or become disconnected or dissociated from their related items.
-
Inability to synchronize or update data.
-
Unexpected behavior.
Unsupported ETAP Elements
The following ETAP elements are not supported by the ETAP - Smart Electrical interface:
-
Instrumentation
-
Multi-function relays
-
Wind turbine generator
-
Double through switches
Unsupported Smart Instrumentation
The following Smart Electrical items are not supported by the ETAP - Smart Electrical interface:
-
Metering equipment (except for current transformers and potential transformers)
-
Other disconnect equipment
-
Control stations (not exported at all)
-
Circuits (not exported at all)
-
Cells (not exported at all)
-
Power distribution boards (not exported at all)
Synchronizing Select List Items
Make sure that the required ETAP drop-down list items are fully synchronized with Smart Electrical select list items. If an ETAP drop-down list item does not exist in Smart Electrical, add it to an appropriate select list in Data Dictionary Manager. For details, see the Data Manager Dictionary Documentation. Mapping of Smart Electrical select list items is done in ETAP. For further information, see the appropriate ETAP documentation.
