Introuction

This Medium Voltage & High Voltage Switchgear Operations & Maintenance training course will open a new window to current technologies related to the medium voltage and high voltage switchgear construction and characteristics. It will focus mainly only the operations and maintenance of electrical power distribution equipment namely the transformers, circuit breakers and gas insulated switchgears.

The common denominator for these equipment’s is the dielectric substance used. In view of the world’s reduce carbon footprint and elimination of global warming potentials new dielectric fluids and gases have emerged and have crept into the electrical power installations. This Medium Voltage & High Voltage Switchgear Operations & Maintenance training course will discuss the new innovations which not only protect the environment but also extends the life cycle costs, maintenance, safety, security and reliability of the equipment. Remote monitoring and conditioned based maintenance will be the mainstay of all modern medium voltage and high voltage switchgears.
