COURSE OVERVIEW

 The electric power substation, whether generating station or transmission and distribution, remains one of the most challenging and exciting fields of electric power engineering. Recent technological developments have had 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.

 This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of high and medium voltage substation design, testing and maintenance. It covers the various types of substations, substation parts and equipment and major components; the overcurrent protection for phase and earth faults and recommended grading intervals; the relay connection, earth fault protection and overcurrent protection for relay connections, residual voltage and sensitive wattmetric protection; and the transformers function and substation earthing systems .

 During this interactive course, participants will learn the reasons for substation earthing system and substation earthing calculation; the substation layout and electrical drawings; the main and circuit of the schematic diagram; the racking and routing, installation detail and panel layout; the other electrical documents, standardization of symbols and schematics exercises; and the qualifications of testing organizational and personnel.
