Practical Protection Systems
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through arc flash assessment and standby generation on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: maintenance teams are increasingly expected to diagnose equipment they did not commission, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with protection relays, lockout and tagout and power factor correction in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring protection relays into line with current good practice, measured against the Occupational Health and Safety Act
- Put lockout and tagout on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Spot where power factor correction is failing before it becomes a finding
- Improve circuit breaker operation within their own organisation
