Electrical Faults: Causes, Analysis, Detection, Remedies

Course details

This Electrical Faults training course in Dubai teaches practical electrical troubleshooting and is concerned with the calculation of fault currents in 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.

Accurate assessment of these currents is also essential for determining the settings of the system protection devices.
This training course includes the preparation of the system for analysis, by manual calculation and by the use of computer ;Participants will be introduced to the various fault analysis software programs.

This AZTech training course will feature:

• Identification of causes of electrical faults
• Understanding three phase short circuit currents
• Recognition of unsymmetrical faults in transformers
• Representation of unsymmetrical faults in a power system
• Manual and software assisted of fault currents

 
What are the Goals?

By the end of this AZTech training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the various types of fault currents
• Determine the causes of overcurrent and short circuit current
• Explain differences between symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults
• Analyse the common faults in a power system
• Interpret manual calculation verses software aided fault current calculations
