Medium and high voltage electrical power switchgears are critical and important components of an electrical installation. The salient equipment are the power transformer, the circuit breaker and the gas insulated switchgear. Currently these switchgears are migrating to eco efficient characteristics incorporating eco-friendly substances like fluids and gases. With regards to the reduction of global warming potential, new green gases are developed to replace the sulfur hexafluoride gas used in circuit breakers. In the gas insulated substations eco-friendly designs are now available incorporating digital components.

Maintenance of the medium and high voltage switchgears have progressed significantly with the emergence of new testing and diagnostics instruments. Remote monitoring has become a norm for high voltage transformers and circuit breakers. The operations of these switchgears have to be a more reliable and secured parameters, by incorporating digital technologies, artificial intelligence and internet of things. This training course will emphasis on operations, characteristics and maintenance of eco efficient of gas insulated switchgears, transformers and circuit breakers.

By the end of this Energy Training Centre training course, participants will learn to:

  • Recognise the types and characteristics of medium and high voltage switchgears
  • Explore the merits of eco efficient and eco-friendly switchgears
  • Understand the merits of ester based oils for transformers
  • Appreciate the use of green gases for gas insulated substations and circuit breakers
  • Achievement of well maintained and safe switchgears for operations

This ETC course will ensure that participants will receive a thorough training on the subjects covered by the outline with the instructor utilising a variety of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques. Each participant will receive a copy of the comprehensive course material. The presenter will outline and discuss the topics using computer displays, videos and power point presentation.

The training is designed to have an interactive format to maximize delegate participation. Questions and answers are encouraged throughout and at the daily sessions. Needs-Based case-studies and examples will be discussed in problem solving workshop sessions. This gives participants the opportunity to discuss with other delegates and the presenter their specific problems and appropriate solutions.

Upon completion of the training course the organizational impact would be:

  • Technical training and up-skilling to improve and realise the full potential of a competent workforce
  • Productivity increase through minimisation of project time acceptance/design and testing
  • Identification for opportunities of improvements due to deep understanding of low carbon emission and clean environment
  • Networking of personnel with technology leaders and other engineers
  • Attitude change of workforce, as continuous follow up of new technologies and their up taking could otherwise create workforce with high resistance to change due to lack of understanding
  • Exposure to efficient and reliable remote monitoring of switchgears

On successful completion of this training course delegate will be able to understand:

  • Recognise the importance of zero carbon emission and global warming potentials in relation with the dielectric fluids and gases
  • Understand the principles of operation of power transformer
  • Appreciate the new generation green gas filled circuit breakers and gas insulated substations
