The Power System Protection course aims to provide an overview of the principles and schemes for protecting power lines, transformers, buses, and generators

The course provides basic guidelines for relay protection and setting calculation. It also reviews power system faults and instrument transformers.

Throughout the course, participants will have an opportunity to learn more about different applications regarding power system protection by using commercial IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Device). It will facilitate to get skills for calculating settings and testing of protection operation conditions.

The objective of this course is to provide:

· Participants with the knowledge and skills required to set up protection schemes.

At the end of this training programme, course participants shall be able to:

· Explain the fundamentals of power system protection;

· Describe current and voltage transformers and their impact on protection scheme performance;

· Select the most appropriate relay for the protection application and configure the relay;

· Coordinate Protection Settings;

· Select the most suitable circuit breaker for a given application;

· Size and select the most appropriate DC Power System for a given application;

· Configure protection for a generator;

· Configure protection for a transformer;

· Configure protection for a line;

· Configure protection for a Busbar.
