Introduction

Electrical equipment and devices are vital in all electrical installations to ensure continuity and ehicient operations. Equipment like transformers, motors, variable frequency drives, uninterruptible power supplies and batteries are today’s common components in most electrical installations. Safe operations are essential as they are protected by modern and sophisticated relays and protection devices.

Attendees will have Practical illustrations of Electrical Equipment and Control systems which will help engineers and technicians to identify, prevent and fix common faults. Beside Protection systems which are installed to prevent faults from damaging electrical plants and to initiate isolation of faulted sections to maintain continuity of supply elsewhere on the system. Recent changes in technology, together with changes in the manner in which Utilities and Industrial organizations operate, has greatly emphasized the development of integrated protection and control.

Objective

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.

Very useful Course Materials will be given.
