Practical Power System Protection IDC Technologies

Overview

The Practical Power System Protection online course at IDC Technologies is designed to provide excellent understanding on both a theoretical and practical level. 

An understanding of power systems along with correct management will increase your plant efficiency and performance as well as increasing safety for all concerned.

Starting at a basic level and then moving onto more detailed applications, it features an introduction covering the need for protection, fault types and their effects, simple calculations of short circuit currents and system earthing. 

This course includes some practical discussion on simple fault calculations, relay settings and the checking of a current transformer magnetisation curve.

You will learn how to:

• Describe the fundamentals of electrical power protection

• Identify and understand the different fault types

• Perform simple fault and design calculations

• Basically  specify and use protection system components – CTs, VTs, CBs, fuses and relays

• Apply relay settings; check, test and assess current transformers

• Demonstrate a fundamental knowledge of different applications in protection
