Electrical control and protection part 5
What you'll learn
- How to design a substation interlocking system
- Understand why we use the different substation configurations and be able to identify them
- Know what a plain distance scheme is
- Understand how to use impedance zones to protect a feeder
- Know why we need pilot isolation transformers
- Understand how a differential feeder protection relay operates
- Be able to identify the key components in a substation communication circuit
- Know what a substation diameter is
- Know how we apply logic diagrams to a relay to get the functionality we require
- Understand how all of the different protection equipments come together to protect a circuit
- Be able to number the primary equipment in a substation
- Know where to place the current transformers in some typical circuits
- Be able to identify the protection zones required for some typical substation configurations
- Know where to put isolator's and ground switches in a circuit
- Learn how to use acceleration & blocking on an impedance scheme
- See how the relay logic can be configured
Requirements
- To have taken parts 1 to part 4 of the protection and control course
- Have a basic knowledge of electrical systems
Description
In the final part of this protection and control course i will be introducing some more advanced principles covering substation configurations, interlocking, feeder protection & distance protection.
These final topics on the protection course will allow you to use all of the skills that you have developed in the protection field and apply them to the situations that you will come across in your career
Who this course is for:
- Anyone interested in learning about electrical protection
- Electricians
- Electrical graduates
- Electrical technicians
- Protection engineers
Instructor
Stephen Brooks is a Chartered Electrical Engineer with over 30 years experience working in the electrical utility industry, starting as an electrical design engineer before moving into the construction field as a senior project manager building high voltage substations for electrical utilities, consultants & large contractors all over the world.
I now want to use this knowledge to teach others about the lessons learned during my career and to pass on my experiences to encourage others to join the electrical power industry.
