Course Summary
The field of electrical engineering encompasses a vast amount of skills and knowledge. With the variety of electrical, electronic, communication, and computer systems, there is a high demand for electricians trained in specific areas.
For an electrician to progress in their career, it is crucial that they are competent in advanced electrical engineering methods. This ranges from research, development, operation, and maintenance of different power systems. When creating their designs, electricians need to account for many internal and external factors such as grid networks, distribution systems, and transmission methods.
Not only does the electrician need to be capable of establishing a system, but they must also maintain and ensure its safety. Detailed risk assessments need to be conducted to account for any and all possibilities of faults. As a further preventative measure, safety devices need to be adequately installed throughout the system to catch faults or power trips.
- To create single line, layout, and schematics diagrams.
- To analyse and interpret the response of power systems in a variety of scenarios.
- To model a power system aligned with system parameters.
- To assess and modify a power system’s behaviours and enhance system parameters.
- To determine the location of the busbar configuration of a typical substation.
- To identify ideal specifications for major substation equipment.
- To assess risks, calculate fault levels and loadings of feeders and branches.
- To analyse protection logistics and coordination between protection devices.
- To understand the importance of load, fault, and feasibility studies.
This course is designed for established engineers who are looking to further develop their knowledge and skill set. It would be most beneficial for:
- Senior Engineers
- Principal Engineers
- Project Engineers
- Electrical Project Managers
- Directors of Technology
