Course Introduction
Electrical Circuit Breakers
This five‐days Training course will discuss Application, Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Testing issues related to Low‐, Medium‐ and High‐Voltage Switchgear and Electrical Circuit Breakers. The course will provide the delegates with a solid understanding of switchgear theory and standards. The course will also make delegates aware of issues concerning the proper application, installation and maintenance of these types of equipment with a strong emphasis on safety. The course will cover a wide range of material starting from the basics and moving on to more complex issues.
This course provides an overview of Power System Design and Theory, focusing on the Power Distribution Electrical Circuit Breakers used in common Utility, Industrial, Commercial and Institutional applications. Basic electrical circuit breaker construction, electrical safety, and common circuit breaker maintenance techniques are the major components of this course.
There is considerable interest among people who operate and maintain Electrical Power Systems in a wide range of topics relating to equipment maintenance and testing. This is because condition and reliability are directly related to maintenance and testing. To obtain maximum life from electrical equipment, maintain its reliability, and minimize repair cost, it is necessary to serve and test it periodically to predict condition.
