Introduction

Training course introducion / brief

Protection of low-, medium-, and high-voltage power systems requires an understanding of system faults and their detection, as well as their safe disconnection from the power system. This course presents a comprehensive and systematic description of protection schemes for various power system elements such as feeders, transformers, motors, buses, and generators. Beginning with an overview of power system faults and protection scheme requirements for the detection and coordinated clearance of these faults, the course then covers protection requirements for cogeneration, non-utility generation, and interconnection with utility power systems. This course deals with protection systems from a practical perspective, including important functional aspects such as the testing and coordination of protection systems. Specially designed for industries and utilities, the seminar relates proper system protection to operational efficiency and the minimization of equipment damage

COURSE METHODOLOGY

Our Training programs are implemented by combining the participants' academic knowledge and practical practice (30% theoretical / 70% practical activities).

At The end of the training program, Participants are involved in practical workshop to show their skills in applying what they were trained for. A detailed report is submitted to each participant and the training department in the organization on the results of the participant's performance and the return on training. Our programs focus on exercises, case studies, and individual and group presentations.
