ETAP's Capability

The simple answer is yes. You can view the voltages on any other bus (or node) using the time slider. I don't have access to ETAP at the moment and I can't remember exactly how to do it, but I'm pretty sure you can select the buses of interest when you bring up the graphical report (showing voltage and time).

As Juleselec already mentioned you can see the bus voltages during the motor starting. You can create a dummy bus at each motor terminal and select the motor terminal buses to see the graphical representation of the other motor terminal voltages during the motor starting.

See these tutorials:

thanks a lot guys. jus goin thru the manuals again along with the video. However, i have found out that we can know the value at the other loads/buses at the instant some motor is started and at the end of the simulation.. i m jus trying to see if the effect on the other motors/buses is recorded for the entire time of simulation apart from the initial and stabilized conditions.

can see a lot of light at the end of tunnel with ur responses :)

cheers
