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 MV ACB & HV Technology. It covers the electrical power systems, medium voltage air circuit breakers, high voltage (HV) technology and switchgear components and functions; the IEC and IEEE standards for MV and HV equipment, testing and certification requirements, environmental and safety regulations and compliance and auditing processes; the safety protocols in MV and HV systems, construction and components of MV ACB, operating principles and protection schemes using MV ACB; and the routine inspection procedures, contact resistance measurement, insulation resistance testing and timing and functional tests. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the common issues and troubleshooting including HV circuit breakers, SF₆ circuit breakers, vacuum circuit breakers and oil and air-blast circuit breakers; the switchgear configurations and standards and testing for HV equipment; the design considerations for HV systems and protection and control in HV systems; and the maintenance strategies for HV equipment and safety practices in HV operations.

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the environmental impact and sustainability covering SF₆ gas management and alternatives, recycling and disposal of HV equipment, energy efficiency measures and regulatory compliance and reporting; the integration of MV and HV systems, testing and commissioning procedures and digitalization and smart grid integration; the emerging technologies in MV and HV systems covering vacuum interrupters for HV applications, solid-state circuit breakers, eco-friendly insulating gases and advanced diagnostics and analytics; and the regulatory and compliance updates covering recent changes in standards, impact on equipment design and operation, compliance strategies and future regulatory trends.
