P1 – Protection of Electrical Power Systems reviews

4.8 (471 reviews)
AI summary of reviews

Its distinctive strength is the way experienced, approachable tutors turn complex protection principles, equations and relay settings into understandable, real-world learning. Attendees value the balanced theory, calculations, practical testing and fault-finding on varied switchgear and relays, supported by clear explanations, discussion, comprehensive notes and a well-equipped facility. They say the course builds confidence and provides useful knowledge for workplace application, although the volume of material can make the pace feel intense.

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

Satisfactory

Great course. Very interesting content and a good mix of practical and theoretical. The practical aspects and seeing the equipment with examples helped cement the learning. More practical aspects is always good. Some questions worded a little weirdly at times. Great course.

I recommend this course for anyone who wants to know about protection systems. The course covers both theoretical and practical exercises on protection systems and relays (solid state, electromechanical and microprocessor) Chris Wilson is an experienced electrical engineer who is very knowledgeable on protection systems

The course was well run with lots of practical learning opertunities and practice questions. The hands-on experience is perfect for those on the design and in field work.
