Course Description
Protection systems are installed to prevent faults from damaging electrical plant and to initiate isolation of faulted sections in order to maintain continuity of supply elsewhere on the system. Recent changes in technology together with changes in the manner in which Utilities and Industrial organizations operate, has greatly emphasized the development of integrated protection and control. Modern relays include facilities such as monitoring and recording capabilities, self-diagnostics and permit adjustment of setting by remote control. In short, the role of the modern protection relay is primarily to act in a fault situation but increasingly finds application in transmitting information in connection with the operation of the system. It is however the relay response to fault situations that forms the principal thrust of the current course. The program is ambitious but due regard will be given to the pace and uptake capabilities of the participants. Participants who bring laptop computers may make use of selected software for tutorial purposes.
