COURSE OVERVIEW

Switchgear (circuit breakers) are critical components in electrical distribution systems and control of electrical power in manufacturing or power plant and in a utility distribution system, their operation significantly affects the overall performance of the system. It must be understood that there is an incredible variety of equipment used on MV switch gear today. Negligent maintenance practices can lead to power system inefficiency and loss of system reliability.

This workshop is designed to update participants with the latest development of Circuit Breakers and to present some of the more common and updated aspects of medium voltage switch gear maintenance. This course describes the essential information that any technician who works in distribution needs to know about CB types, operation and maintenance testing required for all types of MV CB.

IMPORTANT FEATURES

The important features of the Circuit breakers & switch gears:Safe operation & maintenance training course are:

Developing a maintenance procedures of MV CBs
Understanding arc-phenomena and TRRV of CBs
