Overview
The Professional Certificate in Essential Practices for Electrical Safety, Earthing, and Lightning Protection from Engineering Institute of Technology provides students with a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the design and analysis of electrical safety and earthing systems. Additionally, students will gain in-depth knowledge of advanced protection schemes against lightning.
Upon completion, students should be able to:
- Explain electrical system earthing and protective earthing.
- Research and explain the procedure for designing an appropriate earthing system for electrical substations, as well as measuring earth resistance and earth fault loop resistance.
- Explain the need for lightning protection of buildings and electrical facilities and describe the basic approach for evaluating protection effectiveness.
- Describe how to design a comprehensive lightning and surge protection system for a building and evaluate its effectiveness.
- Identify electrical safety hazards in various environments and plan appropriate risk prevention and control measures.
- Discuss electrical safety legislation applicable in Australia and its impact on the design and operation of electrical systems.
- These outcomes will be assessed through four assignments and participation, which are mapped to the outcomes.
