Description The course covers the application and testing of electrical protection in-depth and involves a number of practical exercises and demonstrations combined with classroom theory. A wide range of protective devices is used during the course including electromechanical, microprocessor-based and numerical relays.
What you will learn Introduction to power system protection Fuse and MCCB protection Current and voltage transformers Primary injection testing Earthing of high voltage systems Basic fault level calculations Introduction to symmetrical components Classification and function of relays Inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) relays Calculation of graded time settings for IDMT relays Secondary injection testing Directional overcurrent and earth fault protection Differential protection Numerical relays Feeder protection Transformer protection Motor protection Generator protection Bus zone protection Trip circuit supervision requirements Standard marking of switchgear panel wiring Further information Provider: The Faraday Centre Duration: 5 Days

Very good course, good information given. Chris is very knowledgeable and explains all the details required. Good range of testing shown and all staff members accommodating in showing testing not part of course.

Good job by Chris. Small group of 3 helped out as we had time to discuss in greater detail should we need it.

Well delivered. Real life examples. Protection relay settings can be a hard subject to teach due to the requirement for lots of theory and calculations. I believe chris did an excellent job.

I enjoyed the course and have learnt a lot. I do feel like the mix of practical and theory of the course has helped me to understand most of the course a lot more effectively.

The facilities were great. The course was enjoying but extremely fast paced for the amount of material and the number or days that the course takes place over.
I would have liked more of the practical side of the course, like referring to drawing when setting up the tests rather then them being already set up

Response : Good morning Robert,
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on the P1 Protection of Electrical Power Systems course.
I note your rating of 3 out of 5 and your comment regarding a preference for more practical-based scenarios. P1 is delivered within a limited timeframe and is intentionally structured to provide candidates with a strong grounding in fundamental protection principles, together with an introduction to relay settings and associated calculations.
For information, we also offer the P3 Protection course, which is designed to build on this foundation. P3 includes one day of advanced theory followed by four days of hands-on practical training, using a variety of protection relays and secondary injection test sets to reflect equipment commonly encountered in operational environments.
I hope the above provides some helpful context, and that you otherwise enjoyed your time training with us at The Faraday Centre. I wish you a very Happy Christmas and New Year.
Kind regards
