Elements of Electrical Distribution System Course
Course Overview:
This course explores the concepts of fault analysis and how to improve electrical network dependability. Participants will learn in depth about electrical network fault characteristics, fault extraction methods, and determining the maximum tolerable fault current limit.
The course also includes topics on high-impedance faults, symmetrical, unsymmetrical faults, types of grounding systems of generation, transmission and distribution networks. Another area of concern is voltage drop, lack of power, pollutants, as well as protection devices: circuit breakers, and relays.
The practical training which encompasses theory and practical tasks was developed for engineers and supervisors involved in the maintenance and control of transmission and distribution systems and is aimed at equipping the participants with skills to handle faults and power system recovery processes effectively.
Course Objectives:
o know the major faults which the electrical networks encounter cause a curtail of electrical supply and how to mitigate it. Upon the successful completion of this practical course, participants will be able to:-
- Apply and gain in-depth knowledge of electrical fault characteristics and the fault calculation
- Discuss the limiting fault currents and arc characteristics
- Discover the High-Impedance Faults, the Equipment Faults, and the External & Internal Fault Causes.
- Differentiate symmetrical faults, symmetrical components, and the unsymmetrical faults
- Explain the grounding system of generation, transmission, and distribution networks and how it affects the electrical quantities, short circuit level, and protection system
- Identify the causes of voltage deviations and its effect on auxiliaries of generators, industrial loads, and the stability of electrical power systems
