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.

Chris was a stand up guy and what he doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing. Only thing I would say is I struggled a little to pick up the equations straight away with the pace, but fair play to Chris, when asked he would always revert back and explain everything in great detail.

Some course material is out dated due to updates. Some exercises were missing info that would have helped overall understanding. (This was raised at the time with the lecturer) Generally. Very good. Excellent facility and friendly staff.

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

Good refresher to power system protection
