Training Course Overview
Circuit breakers are crucial components in all electrical installations, playing a vital role in protecting both the equipment and operators.
This LV and HV Circuit Breakers training course provides a comprehensive overview of the essential knowledge required for both low and high voltage circuit breakers. The course primarily focuses on the construction, operation, arc-quenching methods, maintenance, and testing of different types of circuit breakers. Circuit breakers are categorized based on their arc extinction methods, and this course will cover the details of oil, air, gas, and vacuum circuit breakers. The training also emphasizes effective maintenance strategies tailored to each circuit breaker type, ensuring their reliability and protection through condition-based maintenance in accordance with IEC Standards.
This training course will feature:
- Understanding the types of circuit breakers
- Operation of the components of the circuit breakers
- Types of arc quenching methods in circuit breakers
- Testing of circuit breakers
- Maintenance of circuit breakers
