EE0060 : LV MV HV Circuit Breakers and Switchgears Specification Design Operation Inspection Testing Maintenance Repair and Troubleshooting

 

This course is designed to update participants with the latest development of Circuit Breakers and to present some of the more common and updated aspects of low, medium and high voltage switchgear maintenance. It must be understood that there is an incredible variety of equipment used on low, medium and high voltage switchgear today. Switchgears play an important role in the protection, distribution and control of electrical power in manufacturing or power plant and in a utility distribution system. Negligent maintenance practices can lead to power system inefficiency and loss of system reliability 

 

An older plant may have switchgear that was built in the forties in the older areas and modern switchgear in other areas as the plant was upgraded. This course will present maintenance problems to the maintenance manager and technician. Newer plants will probably have modern equipment of a limited variety and manufacture. It is these similarities that will be covered in the course.
