Brochure
Why Choose this Course?
The course focuses mainly on the construction, operation, maintenance and testing of switchgears, with reference to auxiliary protective relays and equipment necessary for its operation. Industrial electrical installations usually comprises of low voltage, medium voltage and high voltage equipment and switchgears.
These differences in voltage ratings has many safety aspects and understanding of its operations and maintenance to be considered very carefully.To ensure safety of operators and maintenance personnel, proper switching procedures are necessary and more so when the circuits have multiple feeds and are complex. Switchgear operation and maintenance plays an important role in the safe distribution of electrical power.
This course will feature:
- Types of LV, MV and HV switchgears
- Principles of operation & components of SF6 & vacuum circuit breakers
- The various types switching devices
- Construction and operations of relays
- Maintenance of switchgears & condition monitoring
What are the Goals?
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the role and importance of LV, MV and HV switchgears
- Determine the components and operations gas and vacuum circuit breakers
- Understand the operation and selection of relays and switchgear interlocking
- Explain the different types of maintenance and testing for switchgears
- Analyse results from condition based maintenance
Who is this Course for?
