COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Operation and Maintenance for MV Switchgear – Eaton. It covers the medium voltage (MV) switchgear covering its applications, components, advantages and role in power distribution; the types of MV switchgear and their configurations; the electrical safety standards and regulations; the personal protective equipment (PPE) for MV operations; the switchgear safety precautions and hazard identification in MV switchgear systems; and the MV circuit breakers, instrument transformers in MV switchgear, protection relays and control system. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the busbars and conductors, operating mechanisms, interlocks and MV switchgears control and monitoring systems; the preventive maintenance, inspection and cleaning of MV switchgear components and testing MV circuit breakers; the thermal imaging, partial discharge testing, lubrication and mechanical maintenance; the replacing and upgrading components; the proper troubleshooting of MV switchgear failures including fault detection and diagnosis; and the arc flash and fault mitigation techniques, responding to electrical emergencies and restore and recover MV switchgear. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the documentation and reporting for fault events; advanced diagnostics and monitoring technologies; the energy efficiency in MV switchgear operations, upgrades and retrofitting of MV switchgear; the training and competency development for operators; and the best practices for MV switchgear operation and maintenance and ensure adherence to safety protocols.
