I’ve been once and a while watching some of your videos. I can see how professional, precise and concise you are. Your videos are very clear and the quality is perfect. Your efforts of projecting real life examples to your videos is fantastic. Keep it up man!

My God this was such a good video. This is my first time using ETAP so this video was equally good for a general overview type of set up.
Thank you!

Thanks sir, you changed my way of seeing things and how things come up much respect in Uganda

[issatou]

You are very good and Thorough. Keep up the amazing work!

[derejekorme]

YOUR LECTURES are so wonderful ! Please can you do T/Line loss assessment using Contingency? Appreciated

[yosolonopuedo]

Good one! Would like to see more videos about ETAP

[davenandrew]

Thank you so much. Your Video is Gold❤

[ugwaabraham]

Great presentation. Can you do a video on reliability analysis using eta?

[wonders]

This is precise and clean tutorial, thanks Ricardo. I couldn't find the Protection pdf in the link. Please provide. See you in class!

[salimneo]

I'm an electrical engineer in maintenance of electrical transformers and substations Field ❤🎉

[salimhichri]

Very good course.
Where can I find disconnectors in ETAP

[simaroaerial]

Thanks. Like others that commented, excellent work. I work with Grid that gets connected to VFD's which run PMM motor. Any example of that? Thanks in advance.

[garykendall]

Thanks Ricardo. Could you provide a calculation sheet with this tutorial to explain the calculations performed by ETAP throughout the assessment of load flow and faults?

[zeeshanahmad]

Please guide, me on how to increase the toolbar icon size in EAP 19?

[ogbodopreciousmmesoma]

Please how do I go about the free fundamentals protection pdf😩 the link is revoked and am so in need of it🙏🙏🙏

[Bellah-jrki]

Do you need to model the ground/shield/OPGW conductor for the transmission line?

[badshahengineeringvlogs]

your explination is good but sir please explain the results when the fault occurs on any of the place of power sytem. i mean the values which occurs after fault

[alimohsin]

Perfect video.
I am interested in your online courses. Please share details.

[omersayeed]

can you please do a video on reading schematics and logic in prints? DC schematics and contact drawings etc
