The course is intended to provide theoretical and practical knowledge that enables the participants to have an in-depth understanding of the applications, overall theory and essential issues relevant to system and equipment earthing
Earthing (Grounding) plays a major role in all electrical power systems because of the particular influence of earthing on the performance, protection, security and reliability of supply. Electric utilities in different countries apply particular earthing methods depending on the particular nature and requirements of their distribution systems. For proper operation and maintenance of electric power substations it is important to understand and maintain correct earthing system in the utility substation and in industrial electrical networks
Delegates will gain a detailed appreciation of the following:
-Principles, design, testing and maintenance of earthing systems and equipment
-Hazards and safety precautions associated with earthing
-Electrical safety requirements and procedures
-Lightning and the role of earthing in Lightning Protection
-Earthing and noise in electronic circuits
The course is suitable for Instrumentation and Control engineers, Consulting engineers, Electrical engineers, project engineers, maintenance engineers, power system protection and control engineers, building service designers
