201 Power Systems Application 2.5-Day Training
Protection & Coordination |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Objectives:
- Review of fundamental considerations for protection, including data gathering, fault calculations, equipment damage and safety
- Review of fault calculations and protective device evaluation
- Overview of protection of apparatus including conductors, transformers, motors and generators
- Coordination of Overcurrent Protection Devices
- Discuss compliance with various codes and standards including ANSI, NEMA, NEC® and CEC
- Provide
practical examples of overcurrent coordination, including the
understanding of protection versus coordination and continuity of
service for both phase and ground overcurrent
- Presentation
of several class examples that will help students gain a basic
understanding of how to select and apply conductors, fuses, low and
medium voltage circuit breakers, overcurrent relays and current
transformers
- Discuss issues and examine study results, potential problem areas and implementation of study recommendations
Prerequisites:
- Basic computer skills
- SKM Power*Tools Standard 3-Day and Advanced 2-Day
Training OR working knowledge of SKM PTW Software
This class is not recommended for beginners.
- Students are urged to review:
- IEEE Red Book Std 141-1993, chapter 4, 5, 10
- IEEE Buff Book Std 242-2001, chapters 9, 10, 11, 12, 15
Course Description:
The course involves the application of the
Power*Tools program to analyze a sample electrical distribution system.
This training program explains the rules and techniques of coordinating
protective relays, power fuses and circuit breakers. Practical
exercises of distribution system protection and coordination will be
reviewed and then performed using the software.
When preparing arc flash analysis, it is vitally
important to perform accurate short circuit, protection and
coordination studies. This course will provide the background and
understanding required to perform these studies. Students will earn 2.0
CEUs for this 3-day course. |

Hands-On Lab - Analysis of a Sample Electrical
Distribution System in PTW:
- Design a new power system and analyze an existing system with
expert guidance.
- Proper equipment selection for coordination and evaluation of the
design - why certain devices should be used instead of others
- Relay coordination, differential & ZSI application examples, Ground
Fault protection schemes
- Emergency Power System Design - coordination of critical systems
fed by generators, UPS, and inverter systems.
- Apparatus Protection - Transformers, Conductors, and Overload
conditions
- Discussion of common coordination issues, errors, and
misconceptions. Rules of thumb to quickly spot uncoordinated
systems
- Develop guidelines to clarify possible coordination confusions
- Interpretation of Equipment datasheets
- Relationship between Short Circuit results and Protective Device
Coordination study
- Discussion of study results and methods to improve system
protection and coordination
- Discussion of issues related to Selective Coordination and
compliance with related codes and standards

Target Audience:
This course is intended for electric power engineers responsible for
the design and analysis of three phase electrical distribution systems.
No previous electrical distribution system analysis experience is
required. However, it is HIGHLY recommended that courses 101 and 102 have been
previously completed or have several years of PTW experience. |
