Course Description
Electric power delivery system plays an important role in the social development and efficient operation of modern industrial plants. Electrical systems, which are of adequately designed, is essential to guarantee optimal availability, reliability, quality and efficiency in the presence of various type of disturbances that are imposed on it.
Electric Power Distribution Systems are designed to be as fault free as possible through appropriate network design, equipment design, proper installation and on-going maintenance. The Circuit breaker and its associated fault detection equipment, protective relaying, is an extremely important device, through its role of clearing short-circuit currents, disconnecting faulty elements from the power network, and thus maintaining the overall integrity of the power network.
Planned maintenance inspections that are regularly implemented ensure that safe operations are effected and those losses of production due to fault outages are minimized. Maintenance inspections can inform the Technician of the current status and operability of the organization’s Electrical systems and record the expected performance of the equipment life cycle.
Topics included are transformer theory, oil testing, gas analysis, electrical testing, receipt inspections and testing, load tap changers, and preventive maintenance.
