Selection, Installation And Testing Of Electrical Equipment In Hazardous Areas
Course Description
Selection, testing and installation of electrical power equipment is essential for improving the power system reliability and reducing the network faults in hazardous areas. The course presents the testing of different electrical power components such as power transformers , under ground power cables , circuit breakers , current transformer , potential transformers, relays , grounding switches , surge arresters , overhead transmission line insulators, distribution panels, power factor correction capacitors, and feeders in hazardous areas. The course contains classifications of hazardous areas and explosives areas, regulations and standards and risk assessment in hazardous areas
