Introduction

This training programme requires a good foundation of electrical knowledge.  The course covers industrial electrical protection in depth and involves a number of practical exercises and demonstrations combined with classroom theory.  A wide range of protective devices are used during the course including mechanical, electromechanical and microprocessor based relays.

Participants

Electrical/plant engineers, supervisors, technicians, electricians with responsibility for the application, commissioning and/or maintenance of electrical protective equipment used on industrial electrical power systems

Aim

To provide detailed theoretical and practical instruction on HV/LV electrical protective equipment including primary and secondary injection of electronic and electro mechanical devices.
