COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of ABB LV & MV switchgears and associated equipment operation, maintenance, testing, troubleshooting and protection. It covers the electrical hazards; the personnel protection; the energized work and de-energized and electrical switching practices; the fundamentals of ABB circuit breakers; and the switchgear details, circuit breakers control circuit and ABB protection relaying. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the ANN switchgear asset management, equipment register, switchgear diagnostic techniques, tripping device, maintenance and testing; the ABB LV/MV substation bus arrangement, incoming and outgoing circuits, current transformers and voltage transformers; the components of protection schemes; the numerical relays and ground potential rise during power system faults; the feeder overcurrent protection, distribution protection and breaker failure, bus protection, transformer protection, motor protection, power quality and distribution protection; and the ABB medium voltage fuses, current limiting switching device, ABB vacuum interrupters, medium voltage surge arrestors and ABB relay configuration.
