Seminar Description

Protection schemes in substations are always connected to the electrical power system. Under normal conditions, they are supposed to do nothing. Though under faulty ones they are supposed to respond (send a signal to trip the appropriate circuit breaker or breakers), based on the saved (programmed) logic, as soon as reasonably possible, to isolate the faulty portion of the circuit and indicate the function that caused the relay to operate (eg. short circuit, ground fault, differential, etc.) as well as the recorded value that caused the relay to operate as well as the any historic data saved ones.

This seminar will allow attendees to improve their understanding of issues regarding protection of electrical power systems including the different substations found in such systems.

Topics to be covered:

• Protective relays & their functions: the different types of relays used to provide the necessary protection to the different types of substations.
• Electromechanical relays: the different designs, internal components, their settings and testing
• Solid state relays: the building blocks of solid state relays, their characteristics and settings.
• Programmable (microprocessor) numerical relays: the building blocks, software & programming, as well as testing of hardware & software.
• Instrument transformers: outdoor & indoor current, voltage (potential) and capacitor potential transformers designs, ratings and application.
• Accessories: the other components that complete the protection and control circuits in substations, terminal blocks, test switches and control wires/cables.

Who Should Attend

This seminar should be of interest to those in companies that are interested in or involved with specifying, applying, setting, testing of the different types and designs of protective relays, like electrical utilities, consulting engineering, users of electric power and other industrial and institutional organizations that are interested in safe and reliable operation of the protective schemes of the power system.
