Power System Protection: Fundamentals and Applications

Electrical & Power Engineering · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

Reliable, safe and secure power system protection is essential as the demand for electrical energy has increased exponentially. Electrical protection devices and their associated instrumentation components should be designed accurately with zero tolerance error. Numerical relays are fundamental and critical aspect of digital electrical installations besides the conventional fuses and circuit breakers. Protection is applied on a component or equipment basis. Relays are associated with each major component of the power system to detect various forms of distress associated with those components.
