Strategic Variable Speed Drives
Electrical and Power Engineering|5 days|Classroom or live online
Strategic Variable Speed Drives looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on switchgear maintenance, load flow analysis and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because ageing plant is being asked to carry loads it was never specified for. Delegates leave able to work confidently with condition monitoring, circuit breaker operation and substation operation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about condition monitoring without waiting for a specialist, measured against recognised arc flash assessment practice
- Improve circuit breaker operation within their own organisation
- Review substation operation and say plainly whether it is working
- Explain standby generation to someone who does not do the work
