This online engineering PDH course provides rules for time/current relay grading, IDMT protection characteristics, protection relay connections, as well as directional and ground protection.
Relay protection against high current was the earliest relay protection mechanism to develop. From this basic method, the graded overcurrent relay protection system, a discriminative short circuit protection, has been formulated. This should not be mixed with ‘overload’ relay protection, which typically utilizes relays that function in a time related in some degree to the thermal capacity of the equipment to be protected.
This 5 PDH online course is suitable for engineers with a desire to understand overcurrent protection fundamentals.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the rules for time/current grading
- Learning about IDMT overcurrent protection curves
- Learning about grading relay-relay, fuse-fuse and fuse-relay
- Learning about protection relay connection
- Learning about directional and ground fault protection
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document which is based on relevant ANSI, IEEE and IEC standards and widely adopted industry practice of setting overcurrent protection relays.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty five (35) questions to earn 6 PDH credits.
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.)

This online engineering PDH course highlights the significance of recognizing electromagnetic risks that affect the reliability of electric grid systems.
The course addresses preparedness for electromagnetic events, which can originate from large-scale geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) triggered by severe solar weather or from human-made sources, such as a high-altitude nuclear explosion that generates an electromagnetic pulse (HEMP). These events can have a considerable impact on critical infrastructure, particularly the electrical grid. Consequently, primary agencies are tasked with risk assessment and improving readiness to mitigate these electromagnetic threats.
This 3 PDH online course is relevant for electrical engineers and other technical professionals interested in learning how to safeguard the electric grid against electromagnetic risks.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the electrical grid operation
- Identifying the types of electromagnetic events
- Understanding electromagnetic threats and their impact on the electrical grid
- Recognizing the federal roles and responsibilities in mitigating electromagnetic risks
- Identifying the challenges in the preparedness for electromagnetic events
- Familiarizing with how electricity suppliers are taking action to address electromagnetic risks
- Explaining the recommendations for improving preparedness and resilience against electromagnetic events.
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Critical Infrastructure Protection from Electromagnetic Risks”, which is based on the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) document titled “CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION: Electricity Suppliers Have Taken Actions to Address Electromagnetic Risks, and Additional Research Is Ongoing”, publication no. GAO-18-67.
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.)
