Design, Testing and Maintenance of Industrial Substations Course
Introduction:
This highly-interactive training course will introduce you to the equipment that makes up an electric substation. It will explain how each type of equipment operates and guide you through the control and wiring diagrams that control equipment operation. Recent technological developments have had a tremendous impact on all aspects of substation design, operation, maintenance, safety, and grounding, testing, and troubleshooting. A substation is a high – voltage electric system facility. It is used to switch generators, equipment, and circuits or lines in and out of a system. It is also used to change AC voltages from one level to another, and/or change alternating current to direct current or direct current to alternating current.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Design, install, commission, test, operate, control, and maintain HV/MV substations in a professional manner
- Identify the various types of substations covering its parts, equipment, and major components
- Recognize over current protection for phase and earth faults as well as the recommended grading intervals
- Employ proper commissioning covering pre and cold commissioning, start-up, hot commissioning, the start of production, performance test, and acceptance of plant
- Perform testing procedures and basic calculations
- Illustrate medium voltage switchgear and oil circuit breakers
Who Should Attend?
This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Those who are involved in the design, installation, commissioning, maintenance, testing, control, and operation of electrical substation equipment
