Why Choose this Training Course?
The Electrical Substation Design, Testing, and Commissioning Procedure training course provides a comprehensive overview of the essential components and operations of electrical substations. Participants will learn about the various types of equipment that make up a substation, including how they function and the control and wiring diagrams used to manage their operation.
The course covers the latest technological advancements that have transformed substation design, operation, maintenance, safety, and grounding. Participants will explore the roles of substations in switching generators and circuits, as well as in voltage transformation between AC and DC systems.
A key focus is on predictive maintenance methods and testing technologies. Attendees will gain insights into how these techniques can help target maintenance efforts, reduce equipment failures, and enhance substation reliability. Real-world case studies will illustrate how to incorporate these methods into existing maintenance programs, optimizing performance and reducing costs.
The course also emphasizes the importance of electrical substation safety across all stages, from system planning and design to installation, operation, and maintenance. Participants will review both theoretical and practical aspects of safety, ensuring a thorough understanding of statutory requirements and best practices.
This training course will feature:
- Latest diagnostic testing techniques for assessing the condition of substation equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, load tap changers, switches, and associated equipment
- Application of predictive diagnostic testing to reduce equipment failures and extend equipment life
- Aspects of safety as well as the practical and statutory issues
