EE1126 : Switchgear Theory and Practical

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 Switchgear Theory and Practical. It covers the fundamentals of switchgear, components of switchgear assemblies, types of circuit breakers and the electrical power system; the standards and regulations, safety in switchgear operations, principles of protection, control and interlocking mechanisms and current and voltage transformers in switchgear; the protection relays and trip units, busbar design and compartmentalization, auxiliary systems in switchgear and switchgear installation guidelines. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT) and commissioning, insulation resistance and dielectric testing, primary and secondary injection testing, thermal imaging and condition monitoring; the preventive and predictive maintenance, common faults and troubleshooting, breaker maintenance and overhaul, aging switchgear risk management, retrofitting and modernization and documentation and maintenance records; the advanced protection coordination, arc flash analysis and mitigation and the digital switchgear and smart grids.
