An intensive professional development training course on
Electrical Faults:
Causes, Analysis, Detection & Remedies
Electrical Power Network Analysis
Why Choose Electrical Faults: Causes, Analysis, Detection & Remedies Training Course?
This Electrical Faults training course teaches practical electrical troubleshooting and is concerned with the calculation of fault currents in electrical power systems. Short-circuit currents are associated with large amounts of very destructive energy and therefore calculations must be made to ensure that the short-circuit ratings of equipment are adequate to cater for these high currents. Accurate assessment of these currents is also essential for determining the settings of the system protection devices.
This Electrical Faults training course includes the preparation of the system for analysis, by manual calculation and by the use of computer analysis. Participants will be introduced to the various fault analysis software programs. Also, all protection device and how to configure the multifunction relay by using relay simulation program will be included.
This Electrical Faults: Causes, Analysis, Detection & Remedies training course will feature:
- Identification of causes of electrical faults
- Understanding three phase short circuit currents
- Recognition of unsymmetrical faults in transformers
- Partial discharge phenomena and how to apply the required analysis
- Representation of unsymmetrical faults in a power system
- Manual and software assisted of fault currents
- Simulation for protection relays configuration
What are the Goals?
By the end of This Electrical Faults: Causes, Analysis, Detection & Remedies training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the various types of fault currents
- Determine the causes of overcurrent and short circuit current
- Explain differences between power system faults
- Analyse the common faults in a power system
- Configure multifunction relays to protect the power system
