Appreciation of the Protection of Electrical Power
Course code: P2
Introduction
This course is intended to give personnel an introductory insight into the protective apparatus that would be fitted to high voltage switchgear connected to feeders, transformers, motors and generators in industrial, commercial and marine installations.
Participants
Electrical/plant engineers, supervisors, technicians, electricians requiring an outline knowledge of the application of electrical protective equipment used on electrical power systems.
Aim
To provide outline theoretical and practical instruction on HV/LV electrical protective equipment, so that candidates may understand the function, role and application of various protective devices.
