Overview
What you will study
Switchgear (and circuit breakers) are critical components in electrical distribution systems and their operation significantly affects the overall performance of the system. The Circuit Breakers and Switchgear course offered by IDC Technologies will discuss the application, installation, maintenance and testing issues relating to medium and high voltage switchgear circuit breakers.
Low voltage switchgear will also be covered and you will receive a thorough grounding in switchgear theory and standards. You will gain a solid understanding of the issues associated with the proper application, installation and maintenance of these critical items of equipment with an overriding emphasis on safety. The emphasis is on medium voltage (referred today as high voltage) switchgear which represents most of the switchgear installed on electrical distribution systems.
The focus is on air blast, oil, SF6 and vacuum circuit breakers. Case studies covering the main manufacturers’ equipment will illustrate the important practical principles. Other power system protection components will be discussed as well to ensure that switchgear is understood in the correct context.
