Over Current Protection and Coordination
Course Description:
This 3-day, instructor-led course will explain the importance of proper protection of electrical equipment as well as proper coordination with overcurrent protection devices to reduce nuisance tripping in your facility. SKM Power Tools for Windows software will be used to analyze medium and low voltage systems. You will learn to protect devices such as transformers, generators, switchgears and motors by selecting the correct trip settings and overcurrent protection devices. You will also learn how the changes for protection and coordination can influence your Arc Flash Incident Energy at a given location. The concepts presented in this course follow NFPA 70 and NFPA 70Erequirements for electrical safety.
Prerequisites:
- Knowledge of the SKM Software
Upon completion of this course you will be able to:
- Understand the fundamental considerations for equipment protection, such as data gathering, fault calculations, equipment damage, and safety
- Understand fault calculations and protective device evaluation
- Understand the protection of different types of apparatus, including transformers, generators, and conductors
- Coordinate the overcurrent protection devices
- Understand protection versus coordination and the continuity of service for both phase and ground overcurrent
- Select the proper overcurrent protection device and settings
Who Should Attend:
Personnel who are involved in the design and maintenance of the facility’s electrical power system and are part of the electrical safety for the facility.
