Training Description:
This intensive training will present a comprehensive capsule of all the knowledge essential for the medium
voltage and high voltage switchgear operations and walk the participants through the switchgear design
process using a set of interlinked case studies. The course focuses mainly on the operation and
maintenance of distribution equipment namely transformers, circuit breakers, contactors, isolators and
disconnectors (this will also include the auxiliary peripherals and control circuits).
Medium and high voltages switchgears are the integral component of any electrical distribution system;
hence, the selection and installation of these switchgears are vital so as to provide protection and safe
distribution of electrical power. The equipment needs to be operated in a safe manner securing continuity
of supply to consumers.
Training Objective:
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
✓ Understand the role and importance of switchgears
✓ Determine the components and operations of medium voltage circuit breakers
✓ Explain the different types of maintenance and testing for switchgears
✓ Analyse the common faults and short circuit current
✓ Design and components of high voltage transformers
✓ Have a better understanding the types of medium voltage and high voltage switchgears
✓ Be familiar of operation principle of medium voltage circuit breakers
✓ Identify of the various types of high voltage switchgears
✓ Maintenance of testing of switchgears
✓ Learn the construction and operations of high voltage transformers
Training Designed for:
This course is intended for all Electricians, Electrical Supervisors, Plant Electricians, Operations &
Maintenance Engineers, Supervisors & Technicians and Maintenance Technicians. This course will benefit
all levels of professional in an electrical installation. It will enable them to understand operations and
maintenance of medium and high voltage circuit breakers and switchgears.
