Course Details

This electrical circuit breakers training course will discuss application, installation, maintenance and testing issues related to low, medium and high-voltage switchgear and electrical circuit breaker equipment. The course will provide delegates with a solid understanding of Circuit Breaker and switchgear theory and standards. The course will also make delegates aware of issues concerning the proper application, installation and maintenance of circuit breaker equipment with a strong emphasis on safety. The course will cover a wide range of material starting from the basics and moving on to more complex issues.

Circuit breakers play an important role in the safe distribution of electrical power. The equipment needs to be operated, maintained and installed in a safe manner securing continuity of supply to consumers. Circuit switchers have been developed to overcome some of the limitations of fusing for substation power transformers. The method or arc extinction determines the types of circuit breaker.

Circuit switchers have SF6 gas interrupters and are designed to provide three-phase interruption (solving the unbalanced voltage considerations) and to provide protection for transient over voltages and overloads at a competitive cost between the costs of power fuses and circuit breakers.

This electrical circuit breakers course also provides an overview of power system design and theory, focusing on the power distribution electrical circuit breakers used in common utility, industrial, commercial and institutional applications. Basic electrical circuit breaker construction, electrical safety, and common circuit breaker maintenance techniques are the major components of this course.
