protection

A practical two-day course covering the complete process of commissioning and testing new protection systems prior to initial switch-on and the testing of existing asset protection to prove its continuing integrity.

Commissioning and Testing

What is the course about?

Since many of the engineers and technicians who initially installed and commissioned much of the existing network plant have now left the industry, there is a knowledge gap regarding the integrity of these systems and how they were commissioned. This course will give you the skills and knowledge to ll that gap, in both testing existing protection systems and commissioning new ones. The course will share best practice from across the industry by taking you through the end-to-end process of commissioning and testing using a series of practical worked examples, from planning, design and procurement through to energising plant, loading and sign-off. You will benet from presentations including safety, voltage testing, protection testing, switch on, handover, records of test results and future maintenance. This approach will also provide you with a fault-nding methodology that is relevant to both new and existing installations.

Why should you attend this course?

Understand the need for a robust commissioning and testing programme Ensure the reliable start up of power distribution equipment Maximise safety Minimise premature equipment failure Develop a methodology for fault nding in new and existing systems Improve your knowledge of commissioning and testing protection systems Gain expertise in end-to-end protection system design and implementation

Who should attend?

You should attend this course if you are an engineering professional or technician working for a network owner/operator, particularly if you have responsibility for the testing and commissioning of plant and equipment. The course will also benet engineers and technicians from the industry sector who test and commission plant and equipment, or who employ contractors and wish to be able to understand and audit their work. The course will also be of interest to graduate engineers, although to fully appreciate the programme you will need to have some prior protection experience or have attended a previous EA Technology protection course.
