Course Description

Electrical protection devices are a fundamental and critical aspect of electrical installations. Protection is applied on a component basis. Relays are associated with each major component of the power distribution system to detect various forms of distress associated with those components.

If one of those relays operates, which means that an output contact protective devices which then isolates the defective system components. It may be convenient to think of the circuit breaker as the muscle that does the work of isolating the component, while the relay is the brain which decides that isolation is required.

This course presents a comprehensive and systematic description of the concepts and principles of operation and application of protection schemes for various power system elements; the practical solutions for specifying the correct type of electrical protection; comprehensive understanding of principles and selection of relays; design developing of protection schemes; the construction and functions of instrument transformers; types of  grounding system and the earthing fault protection.
