Course Overview

Recent changes in technology and the manner in which utilities and industrial organisations operate has greatly emphasised the development of integrated protection and control. Maintenance systems are put in place to prevent faults from damaging electrical plants and to initiate isolation of faulted sections in order to maintain continuity of supply elsewhere on the system.

Power distribution equipment that is reliable, safe, and efficient is essential for electrical installation. This training course includes the construction, operation, and maintenance facets of the equipment namely the circuit breakers, transformers, switches, ring main unit, and protection devices. Safe operations of electrical equipment are vital as they are protected by modern and advanced relays and security devices.

Distribution equipment plays an essential role in the safe allocation of electrical power and arc flash hazards analysis is also vital to ensure that the equipment is operated in a safe manner, assuring uninterrupted supply to consumers. This course will take a closer look at the equipment installed in and electrical installation.

A well-designed and commissioned maintenance regime is essential to ensure safe operations and trouble-free electrical functions. This training course focuses mainly on the electrical safety, security, and reliability of electrical equipment, which are the main attributes of all equipment.

It also discusses the operation and maintenance of distribution equipment like circuit breakers, transformers, protection relays and cables pertaining to the auxiliary equipment required for its operation.

What aspects of “Electrical Distribution Equipment Operation & Maintenance” does this course cover? In addition to the fundamentals of the operation and maintenance of electrical distribution equipment, this course looks at the actual importance and significance of the maintenance process.

It also focuses on understanding the purposes of choosing the most suitable test instruments, the severity of arc flashes, mitigation techniques, safe operations of circuit breakers and transformers, and key principles of the electrical protection system.
