Appreciation of the Protection of Electrical Power Systems (P2)

Introduction

The P2 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.

Outline Contents

  • The role of protection
  • Fuses and other protective devices
  • Current and voltage transformers
  • Methods of achieving discrimination
  • Relay grading
