Why Attend This Training Course?

The continuity and quality of electricity delivered safely and economically by today’s and future’s electrical power networks are important for both developed and developing economies. The correct modelling of power system equipment and correct fault analysis of electrical networks are pre-requisite to ensuring safety and they play a critical role in the identification of economic network investment. The technology described throughout this course will always be required for the safe and economic design and operation of electrical power systems. By describing present methods of Electrical Fault analysis, causes, detection and remedies in Electrical Networks and Distribution Cables, particularly with the aid of a personal computer and Power System Simulator. The approach is designed to develop participant’s thinking process, enabling them to reach a sound understanding of a broad range of topics related to electrical faults, while motivating their interest in the electrical power industry. The course includes many case studies describing present day practical applications.
