Power System Protection (Protection Relays)

There are no prerequisites for this course.

• Understanding of the operating principles, techniques and setting procedures.
• Understanding information and instruction in the safe operating procedures for electrical protection schemes.
• Interpretation of protection fault indications and appropriate corrective actions, along with maintenance of HV and LV protection relays

• Faults and fault levels
• Principles of selectivity
• Measurement
• Earth fault and earth leakage protection
• Differential protection
• Generation protection
• Transformer protection
• Motor protection

Delegates will undertake a multiple-choice examination paper to demonstrate they have achieved the key learning outcomes detailed above.

This is a classroom based course with practical training exercises to underpin knowledge gained.

Why does ASET’s Power System Protection (Protection Relays) course differs from that of its competitors in Scotland? Unlike our competitors ASET uses up to ten different types of protection relays which include a range of Static, Electro Mechanical and Micro Processor relays which offer:

• EF/OC Protection
• Generator Protection (Field Failure and Reverse Power)
• Motor Protection (Thermal Protection)
• Transformer Protection
• Voltage Dependent O/C Protection
• Trip Circuit Supervision
• Lock Out
