Course description

The failure to properly transmit, normalise and allocate electrical power from the generating source can be unsafe, and in some cases, cataclysmic, for the areas and organisations that they are a part of. Like any other industrial sector, effective operation and production dependability in transmission and supply are based on the performance of the entire organisation – from those with the simplest of assignments related to power operations right to the top of the chain command.

Essentials of Modern Electrical Transmission and Distribution Systems training course will examine electricity power transmission and distribution principles, more focus will be placed on the technical specifications, operation, and behaviour of power system main equipment such as power transformers, distribution transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, earthing switches, auto-reclosers, transmission lines, busbars, protection and control systems
