Description
Understanding the protection of low, medium, and high-voltage power systems is essential for preventing damage and ensuring operational efficiency. Power system faults, their detection, and the safe disconnection of components like feeders, transformers, and generators are critical in maintaining system integrity. This course explores protective relaying systems, covering the fundamental principles of fault detection and the coordination of protection schemes. It includes essential topics like power system faults, feeder overcurrent protection, and the use of current and voltage transformers in protective schemes.
Participants will gain hands-on knowledge in transformer, bus, and generator protection, as well as transmission line protection. The course emphasizes practical applications, from testing protection systems to coordinating electrical protection schemes across different equipment. The latest microprocessor-based relays, as well as traditional devices, will be examined, equipping learners with both modern and foundational skills.
Through the application of the concepts learned, industries and utilities will benefit from improved operational efficiency and minimized risk of equipment damage. This course also offers insights into emerging trends and technologies in protection systems, ensuring that participants are well-prepared to address future challenges in the field. Additionally, participants will leave with practical tools and strategies that can be immediately implemented in their organizations.
