Course Description

Circuit breakers and switchgear are necessary system items for the electrical control of electrical plant. The safe use of these devices and associated equipment requires correct initial selection, operation and maintenance. It is also necessary to have a detailed understanding of how these devices should be installed, the local substation and system ratings, and how the various breakers operate, in order to enable accurate troubleshooting and subsequent repair. The course will provide participants with a solid understanding of Circuit Breaker and switchgear theory and standards. The course will also make participants aware of issues concerning the proper application, installation and maintenance of circuit breaker equipment.
