The Circuit Breakers and Switchgears (Advanced) course is designed to provide comprehensive training on the advanced principles, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of circuit breakers and switchgears. Circuit breakers and switchgears play a critical role in electrical power distribution systems, ensuring the protection of equipment and personnel by controlling and isolating electrical circuits.
The course covers the following key topics:
Circuit breaker types and classifications: Understanding different types of circuit breakers, such as air circuit breakers, vacuum circuit breakers, oil circuit breakers, and gas-insulated circuit breakers. Exploring their construction, working principles, and applications in various electrical systems.
Switchgear design and components: Learning about the design and components of switchgears, including busbars, circuit breakers, disconnect switches, relays, and control panels. Understanding the functions and interconnections of these components within a switchgear assembly.
Circuit breaker operation and maintenance: Exploring the operation, control, and maintenance procedures for circuit breakers. Participants will learn about circuit breaker trip units, protective settings, operating mechanisms, and safety features. Emphasis will be placed on preventive maintenance practices, inspection techniques, and testing methods.
Switchgear operation and protection: Understanding the operation and protection schemes used in switchgears. Participants will learn about overcurrent protection, differential protection, busbar protection, and other relay-based protection systems. They will also explore the coordination of protective devices within switchgears.
Fault diagnosis and troubleshooting: Developing skills in diagnosing and troubleshooting common faults and malfunctions in circuit breakers and switchgears. Participants will learn to interpret fault indications, analyze trip events, and use diagnostic tools and techniques to identify and rectify problems effectively.
Safety considerations: Understanding the safety protocols, procedures, and precautions associated with working on circuit breakers and switchgears. Participants will learn about electrical hazards, personal protective equipment (PPE), lockout/tagout procedures, and safe working practices in switchgear environments.
Industry standards and regulations: Familiarization with relevant international standards, such as IEC and ANSI/IEEE, governing the design, testing, and operation of circuit breakers and switchgears. Understanding compliance requirements and best practices.
This course is designed for electrical engineers, technicians, maintenance personnel, and professionals involved in the design, operation, maintenance, or troubleshooting of electrical power systems. It provides participants with advanced knowledge and practical skills to effectively work with circuit breakers and switchgears, ensure their reliable operation, and address potential issues to maintain the integrity and safety of electrical distribution systems.
