High Voltage Busbar Protection
This online engineering PDH course presents key technical concepts, design arrangements and protection types for busbars. It addresses the most important high voltage busbar protection arrangements and their principles, as well as their appropriate application.
The protection arrangement for an electrical system should cover the whole system against all possible faults. Line protection concepts, such as overcurrent and distance arrangements, satisfy this requirement, even though short circuits in the busbar zone are cleared after certain time delay. But in the case, unit protection is used for feeders and plants, the busbars are not inherently protected.
It is a fact that the risk of a short circuit happening on modern metal clad equipment is insignificant, but it cannot be completely dismissed. Nevertheless, the damage resulting from one short circuit may be huge, up to the overall loss of the substation by fire. Severe damage or destruction would possibly end in widespread and prolonged supply disruption.
This 5 PDH online course is suitable for electrical engineers with a desire to understand the fundamentals of high voltage busbar protection.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- System protection schemes including frame-earth protection
- Differential protection principles
- High impedance differential protection
- Low impedance differential protection
- Arrangement of CT connections
- Interlocked overcurrent busbar schemes
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “High Voltage Busbar Protection”.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty (30) questions to earn 5 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.) For your convenience, we will also email it to you. Please note that you can log in to your account at any time to access and print your Certificate of Completion.
