Training Course Overview
This Electrical Faults: Causes, Analysis, Detection & Remedies training course focuses on practical electrical troubleshooting and the calculation of fault currents within electrical power systems. Short-circuit currents involve large amounts of highly destructive energy, so it is essential to perform calculations to ensure that equipment short-circuit ratings are sufficient to handle these high currents. Accurately assessing these currents is also crucial for setting system protection devices.
The course covers both manual calculations and computer-based analysis to prepare the system for evaluation. Participants will be introduced to various fault analysis software programs. Additionally, the training will include configuring protection devices and setting up multifunction relays using a relay simulation program.
This training course will feature:
- Identification of causes of electrical faults
- Understanding three phase short circuit currents
- Recognition of unsymmetrical faults in transformers
- Partial discharge phenomena and how to apply the required analysis
- Representation of unsymmetrical faults in a power system
- Manual and software assisted of fault currents
- Simulation for protection relays configuration
Training Course Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the various types of fault currents
- Determine the causes of overcurrent and short circuit current
- Explain differences between power system faults
- Analyse the common faults in a power system
- Configure multifunction relays to protect the power system
- Know protection simulation
- Know the partial discharge analysis and detection as case study
Designed for
This training course will benefit all levels of personnel in an electrical installation. It will enable them to identify the causes and apply analysis of electrical faults in a power system.
This Electrical Faults: Causes, Analysis, Detection & Remedies training course is suitable to a wide range of technical professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Electricians
