LV and HV Circuit Breakers

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

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the role and importance of circuit breakers
• Determine the components and operations of circuit breakers
• Explain the different types of maintenance and testing for circuit breakers
• Care and monitoring of SF6 circuit breakers
• Comprehend the importance of the efficient operation of circuit breakers

This LV and HV Circuit Breakers training course is suitable to a wide range of technical professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Operations & maintenance engineers, supervisors & technicians
• Maintenance technicians
• Electrical Support Engineer- Maintenance Operations
• Electrical Superintendent-Power Station
• Power Station Technicians

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult training techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes presentation and discussion of latest videos and technologies on low and high voltage circuit breakers. Questions are encouraged throughout, particularly at the daily wrap up sessions. This provides opportunities for participants to discuss with the presenter specific issues and, if possible, find appropriate solutions. Specific goals of each participant will be discussed to ensure that their needs are fulfilled whenever practicable in compliance with IEC Standards.
