An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
TAMCO High Voltage Switchgears
Switchboard Designs and Substation Layouts
Incorporating Switchgears
Course Overview
This GLOMACS TAMCO High Voltage Switchgears training seminar focuses mainly on the installation, operation and maintenance of high voltage switchgear and equipment, regarding auxiliary equipment necessary for its operation. High voltage equipment plays a vital role in the safe distribution of electrical power.
The equipment needs to be operated in a safe manner securing continuity of supply to consumers. Technical aspects of switching devices, as well as their maintenance requirements, are briefly included in this training seminar to understand the risks associated with switchgear operation. Aspects of modern maintenance techniques in asset management will be covered at the level appropriate for this training course.
Protection systems are installed to prevent faults from damaging electrical plant and to initiate isolation of faulted sections in order to maintain continuity of supply elsewhere on the system.
This GLOMACS training seminar will highlight:
- The roles of MV and HV switchgears
- Compression principles of circuit breakers
- Application and installation of vacuum interrupters
- Importance of maintenance and testing
- Protective relays and characteristics
