Substation Operation in the Public Sector
Electrical and Power Engineering|3 days|Classroom or live online
Substation Operation in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including insulation testing, lockout and tagout and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because ageing plant is being asked to carry loads it was never specified for, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with circuit breaker operation, switchgear maintenance and transformer maintenance in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve circuit breaker operation within their own organisation, measured against IEC standards
- Put switchgear maintenance on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Review transformer maintenance and say plainly whether it is working
- Explain protection relays to someone who does not do the work
