An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Substations for Non-Engineers
Course Overview
The Substations for Non-Engineers training course offers comprehensive training course on the basic operations and safety of substations that are pivotal in delivering electric power from generation points to transmission networks and distribution centres. The curriculum emphasizes the stages involved in alternating current (AC) network systems, highlighting essential elements such as voltage classifications, colour codes, and the paramount importance of electrical safety. Understanding the significant risks associated with electricity, the course meticulously covers electrical hazards, grounding, or earthing techniques to mitigate electric shock risks, ensuring attendees grasp the severity and the necessary precautions required when dealing with electrical systems.
Participants will delve into the operations and characteristics of critical substation components, including alternators, turbines, and transformers, which are instrumental in the generation, transmission, and distribution phases. The training course provides insights into transmission substations' step-down transformers to reduce voltages for safe distribution through overhead lines or underground cables. The final leg of the training focuses on distribution substations, detailing their crucial role in supplying electricity to residential and industrial consumers. Particular emphasis is placed on safety and the correct operation of protection devices such as fuses, circuit breakers, and transformers to ensure a safe, uninterrupted power supply.
Upon completion, the training course strives to impart a profound understanding of electrical safety protocols, power generation processes, and the unique characteristics of transmission and distribution substations. The interactive format of the training course, utilizing a blend of computer displays, videos, and PowerPoint presentations, encourages active participation, fostering an environment where questions and discussions are welcome. The ultimate goal is to equip participants with the knowledge to improve safety, recognize the importance of various substations, understand the interplay
