Course Description
Knowledge of state-of-the-art substation equipment, protection, and controls is a prerequisite to making decisions in design, construction, and operation of high and medium voltage substations. This practical course covers medium and high voltage substations, including industrial, utility, commercial and institutional and introduces you to the up-to-date equipment that makes up an electric substation. Learn how each type of equipment operates, and protection and control equipment and systems that determine successful and safe substation operations.
