Training Course Overview

Switchgears play a vital role in electrical systems, ensuring power is distributed safely and efficiently. This LV, MV, and HV Switchgear Operation & Maintenance training course offers a thorough understanding of the design, operation, maintenance, and testing of low voltage (LV), medium voltage (MV), and high voltage (HV) switchgears. The course places a strong focus on safety, particularly when managing complex circuits with multiple feeds.

Participants will learn the operating principles of various switching devices, such as SF6 and vacuum circuit breakers. The course also explores relay construction, interlocking systems, and advanced maintenance practices, providing attendees with the expertise to maintain safe and reliable system performance.

This training course will feature:

  • Comprehensive overview of LV, MV, and HV switchgear types and components
  • Principles of operation for SF6 and vacuum circuit breakers
  • Detailed examination of various switching devices and their applications
  • Construction and operation of relays for switchgear systems
  • Advanced Switchgear Maintenance Course topics, including condition monitoring and testing

Training Course Objectives
