Course Overview

Power Systems can be prone to deficiencies mainly due to lack of proper insulation or other peripheral causes. When a fault in a power system occurs, the normal features of the system could become unstable. With more complicated systems, it is crucial to identify the point of fault accurately and trip only those segments affected by the error while the rest of the structure can continue to run naturally.

Therefore, it is essential to prevent, detect and/or fix electrical faults as efficiently as possible. This course covers the relevance and testing mechanisms of electrical power system protection, including real-world exercises and demonstrations merged with the technical concepts behind it.

What content do the Electrical Power System Protection and Switchgear Training Course feature? At a glance, the following areas will be covered in this course:

  • Concepts of protective relaying and security mechanisms
  • Radial system and scheduled overcurrent protection
  • Electromechanical relay functioning and microprocessor applications
  • Instrument transformers
  • Pilot protection and differential and distance relays

Overall, this Zoe training course will empower you with knowledge in protecting the power system effectively in order to avoid hazardous situations in your surroundings. It will provide you with the aptitude that is vital to calculate fault currents, choose relays and relevant transformers suitable for each type of system. Our workshops also allow participants to apply the techniques learned in the training course in real-world situations.
