SYNOPSIS:
This course is designed to introduce the concept of power system protection. The students are expected to understand the
general concept of protection in power system. It is expected that the students will be able to analyse and design the
protection system related to the protection against overvoltage, the setting of over-current and determination of fuses size,
circuit breaker setting and capable to design the protection system.

OBJECTIVES:
This course contributes to the engineering topics component of the curriculum, primarily in engineering science and design.
The students learn fundamental power system protection concepts and develop technical expertise in this specialized field.
