Substation Maintenance and Troubleshooting of Switchgears & SF6

Course Introduction

This intensive training course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of GIS substation maintenance and troubleshooting. It focuses on what to do, when to do it and how to interpret the results from testing and maintenance. In additions, participants will be equipped with new or refreshed skills to ensure that electrical equipment and control systems which related to Electrical Substations plus identified faults or problems are repaired and the underlying causes are identified and eliminated to reduce further failures.

The course will also discuss the different substation types and purposes; the fundamentals of power system operation and primary substation equipment; the major components, construction and operation of power transformers and controls; the basic concepts of schematics and wiring diagrams; the construction and operation of voltage regulators, power circuit breakers, circuit switchers, reclosers, capacitor banks and metalclad switchgear; the types and applications of disconnect switches and power fuses; the principles of operation of instrument transformers, purpose and types of protective relay systems, purpose and ratings of battery systems, purpose and functions of SCADA; the purpose and applications of wave traps; the station power requirements of AC station power systems; and the communication systems and interfaces related to integrated/automated substation control.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the substation commissioning and its start-up   procedures; the proper procedure for managing the maintenance of the substation assets; the principles of implementing elements of a PdM program; the maintenance process automation and information integration tools, PdM diagnostic tests and the condition assessment for data evaluation and cost benefit analysis; the proper diagnostic testing of insulating materials that can be tested, dissolved gas analysis (DGA) and the physical and chemical testing related to oil quality assessment; the concept of solid dielectric diagnostics; the proper procedure of sampling techniques and protocols related to the maintenance, grounding and safety of electrical power substations; and the proper procedure of breaker oil analysis (BOA); the purpose, grounding theory, types of test equipment, inspection and testing related to substation grounding; and the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting procedures.
