EE0689-10D : Circuit Breaker & Switchgear, Inspection, Maintenance, Design, Repair & Troubleshooting

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops 

 This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Circuit Breaker & Switchgear Inspection, Maintenance, Design, Repair and Troubleshooting. It covers the basic electrical concepts and principles of circuit breakers and switchgear; the power distribution systems, arc phenomena and circuit interruption; the safety practices and standards in circuit breaker maintenance; the circuit breakers classification and the difference between low voltage and high voltage circuit breakers; and the air circuit breakers (ACB), vacuum circuit breakers (VCB), sf6 circuit breakers and oil circuit breakers. 

 Further, the course will also discuss the various types, applications, components, functions and design considerations of switchgear; the circuit breaker ratings, specifications, selection criteria, system requirements and characteristics; the circuit breakers preventive and predictive maintenance techniques, maintenance scheduling and planning, inspection procedures and checklists; and the lubrication and cleaning of circuit breakers including record-keeping and documentation of maintenance activities. 

 During this interactive course, participants will learn the importance of circuit breaker testing in maintenance and the types of tests, testing equipment and tools; the procedures for performing electrical tests and interpreting test results; the common problems and faults in circuit breakers; the diagnostic techniques for troubleshooting and step-by-step troubleshooting procedures; the circuit breaker curves and coordination with other protective devices; the digital and intelligent circuit breakers, remote monitoring and control of breakers; the advanced protection and control systems and integration of circuit breakers with smart grids; the emerging technologies in circuit breaker design; and the future trends in circuit breaker and switchgear industry.
