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 such as feeders, transformers, motors, buses, generators, etc. The course begins with an overview of power system faults and the protection scheme requirements for the detection and coordinated clearance of these faults. Protection requirements for cogeneration, nonutility generation, and interconnection with the utility power system are covered in detail. This course deals with protection systems from a practical perspective, and includes important functional aspects such as testing and coordination of protection systems. It is specially designed for industries and utilities, which depend on proper system protection for operational efficiency and minimizing damage to equipment. Objective To provide a practical understanding of protective schemes for electrical power systems and equipment. Who Should Attend Engineers, technicians and technologists in the industrial, consulting, and utility fields involved in design, regulatory inspection, operation and maintenance who require knowledge of electrical system protection techniques.
