Introduction

This course provides comprehensive training on the maintenance and management of industrial substations. It covers key areas such as equipment inspection, troubleshooting, testing, safety protocols, and preventive maintenance procedures to ensure optimal performance and reliability of electrical systems in industrial settings. Participants will gain hands-on experience with substation components like transformers, circuit breakers, and switchgear, as well as learn best practices for minimizing downtime and ensuring system safety.

Objective

Substation types, applications, components and safety procedures

Medium-voltage circuit breaker maintenance and testing methods
Perform insulation resistance, contact resistance on air, oil and vacuum breakers, and tank loss index on oil circuit breaker and vacuum bottle integrity tests on vacuum breaker
Switchgear arrangement, torque requirements, insulation systems and maintenance intervals
Perform switchgear inspection and maintenance in lab
Battery types, applications, systems and components
Perform battery maintenance and testing in lab

Audience

This course is intended for Electrical Engineers, Electrical Supervisors and Electrical Technicians engaged in the commissioning, testing, start-up, troubleshooting, maintenance and repair of Electrical Equipment and Control Systems. Because the methods and examples are generic, trainee from all industries especially oil and gas fields will benefit. Participants need no specific requirements other than good understanding of electricity and magnetism and some relevant experience.
