EE179: Electrical Fault Analysis: Causes, Detection & Remedies EE179 Rev.001 CMCT COURSE OUTLINE Page 1 of 5
Training Description: It is essential to know the Short Circuit Current and KVA that the system will carry under Different Fault Conditions and at Different Points in the System. The faults may be Single Line to Ground, Double Line to Ground, Three Line Fault or Line to Line Fault. Selection of Circuit Breakers, Protective Devices and Operation Strategies are mainly required information about the Short Circuit Current. Moreover, Fault Analysis is essential in order to have safety operation of the Power Systems and to know the fault causes. It is important for Engineers and Technicians to be aware by fault causes, fault detection, fault protection and fault analysis. This course is designed to provides the participants with complete knowledge about fault calculations, fault detection and protective relays used for power systems and networks. The course is concerned with the calculation of fault currents in practical electrical power systems. Short-Circuit currents are associated with large amounts of very destructive Energy and therefore Calculations must be made to ensure that the short-circuit ratings of equipment are adequate to cater for these high currents. In addition, an accurate assessment of these currents is also essential for determining the settings of the system protection devices. Electrical systems are subjected to several external & internal influences like Weather Conditions, Lightning Phenomenon, Pollution, Insulation Failure, Temperature Rise, etc., these influences cause abnormal Operational Condition, which could lead to voltage and frequency variations and feeder trips, brown out or Black Out of Electrical system, and sometimes, may lead to equipment damage or System Failure. Training Objective: By the end of the training, participants will be able to: Understand the basic theory of Three Phase Power System under Balanced and Unbalanced Conditions Learn the Per-unit System and Analytical Circuit based Techniques to calculate Industrial Power Systems for Faults Learn Advanced Engineering Mathematical Software that can be used to make difficult and complicated Calculations an Easy Task Understand Balanced Three-phase Faults and unbalanced Faults and their Analysis using Symmetrical Components Apply impedance reduction Techniques and positive, negative and zero sequence circuits and their interconnection for faults Participate and earn valuable learning through Case studies and industrial standards for Medium and Low Voltage Networks and know what are types of different of Faults and how faults are calculated Training Designed for: This course is intended for Electrical Engineers, those who are involved in Commissioning, Start up, Operation, and Protection of Electric Power Networks.
