Course Description

Our comprehensive course on Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) provides in-depth knowledge and practical insights into the selection, installation, and operation of SPDs. From understanding the fundamentals of surge protection to mastering the technology behind SPDs, this course equips participants with the expertise to safeguard electrical systems from transient overvoltages.

 

In Section 1, participants will delve into the fundamentals of surge protection, including the operation of SPDs, the role of Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs), indicator cartridges, and the science behind lightning phenomena.

 

Section 2 focuses on the various types of SPDs, their technologies, and specifications, providing a comprehensive understanding of the available options.

 

Section 3 delves into the critical aspects of selecting and installing SPDs, covering topics such as the selection of operating voltage, voltage protection level, current ratings, coordination, overcurrent protection, and the practical considerations for wiring and conductor cross-sectional area in SPD installations.

 

This course is suitable for electrical power engineers and electrical engineering students, as well as professionals involved in the design, installation, and maintenance of electrical systems. It provides essential knowledge for safeguarding electrical installations, preventing equipment damage, and ensuring the continual operation of electrical systems.

 

By the end of this course, participants will be well-versed in the principles, technologies, and best practices for selecting, installing, and maintaining surge protective devices, ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical systems in compliance with industry standards and regulations.
