Who should attend
Engineers and Technicians from Electrical Transmission and Distribution Utilities or Major Consumers with Power Distribution Networks, such as those for oil and gas production, who are directly involved in the design, specification, purchasing, maintenance or day to day Operation of System Protection.
It is also of great benefit to personnel who require a broad understanding of power system protection due to their employment in related activities, e.g. government agencies, loan agencies etc. Design, Marketing and Project Management Personnel from manufacturers of power system protection equipment should also benefit greatly from the seminar.
Personnel should ideally have at least two years’ experience related to the electrical power industry.
About the course
Electric power systems are designed to serve loads in a safe and reliable manner. One of the major considerations in the design of any power network is adequate control of short-circuits or “faults” as they are generally referred to. If faults are not controlled they can cause unnecessary loss of electricity service with all of its many ramifications and damage to equipment. Faults on system elements are removed from networks by means of equipment referred to as “Power System Protection”.
This course is designed to give delegates a broad understanding of the nature of power network faults and the principles of Protection System Protection, Design, Operation and Maintenance.
Course Objectives
On completion of the course the trainee(s) will be competent in:
- The skills involved and the principles applied to power system protection
- Interpreting system faults from protection system alarms and indications and determine the necessary corrective actions
- Information and instruction in safe operating procedures in electrical protection schemes, including elements of maintenance of HV and LV protection relay systems
