Program Overview
Electrical protection is the frontline defense against system instability, equipment damage, and safety hazards. This program equips engineers and maintenance professionals with the analytical and practical skills to understand, calculate, and coordinate protection systems effectively. Covering fault types, relay logic, coordination techniques, and modern numerical relay configuration, the training bridges theory with field application. Real-world case studies and interactive simulations help participants analyze fault scenarios, set protection parameters, and implement coordinated relay schemes to ensure network reliability, safety, and minimal downtime.
Features
- Analyse electrical faults using practical calculation methods and system data
- Configure and coordinate relays, CTs, breakers, and protection devices effectively
