The Electric Distribution Three-Phase Overcurrent Protection course provides attendees with a review of Symmetrical Components and moves to Fault Current Calculations using the Per Unit Method.

Attendees will gain a wealth of information including:

  • Design options of Three-Phase Reclosers and Circuit Breakers
  • Ground fault protection and other protection schemes
  • Circuit breakers, three-phase reclosers, IntelliRupter
  • Coordination of overcurrent protective devices
  • Padmount switchgear design options

The training is focused on the technical engineering protection issues, not any specific manufacturer’s equipment or device and will utilize practical examples to enforce the classroom concepts.

 

Learning Outcomes

  • Discuss calculation of fault currents using the Per Unit method
  • Review circuit breakers, three-phase reclosers, IntelliRupter
  • Discuss protective relays
  • Discuss the coordination of overcurrent protective devices
  • Review self-healing systems
  • Assess padmount switchgear design options
