Electrical Power System Medium and High Voltage Switch Gear
Electrical & Power Engineering · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
Medium and high voltage electrical power switchgears are critical and important components of an electrical installation. The salient equipment are the power transformer, the circuit breaker and the gas insulated switchgear. Currently these switchgears are migrating to eco efficient characteristics incorporating eco-friendly substances like fluids and gases. With regards to the reduction of global warming potential, new green gases are developed to replace the sulfur hexafluoride gas used in circuit breakers.
