Thanking you in advance

Before spending a whole lot of money, have a look at the open source package, ATP-EMTP, available for free at http://www.emtp.org/. Not only is the price right, there is a large a quite knowledgeable on-line community that provides excellent support.

I am quite happy with EasyPower 8. I am working on an arc flash analysis at the moment. A colleague of mine uses ETAP and I believe he is happy with that. Both have the same capabilities, good support and extensive device libraries. It is a matter of taste I suppose.
