COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course mainly focusses on Earthing, Bonding, Lightning, and Surge Protection. The objectives cover the basic principles and importance of earthing, how to test/earth certain equipment, the different types of earthing system in depth, followed by lightning and surge protection on various locations.
Course Details
The course will commence by defining earthing and reviewing basic earthing needs to be followed by the basic principles of earthing. The components of earthing system and types of earthing system will be discussed to get a deeper understanding of earthing application. Adding to this, Earthing in Substation and UPS Earthing will be reviewed.
The second part of the course gives an exposure to lightning. It discusses Lightning effects, including the vital topics such as lightning safety, lightning protection of structures, and Lightning protection of electrical lines and substations, which are crucial to protecting various components from lightning and its adverse effects. Adding to the lightning, the topic Surge Protection will be explained, which involves the protection of electrical lines from other sources of lightning such as surges, transient voltages, electrical faults, switching, etc. Towards the end Maintenance of lightning protection systems, safety regulations and Standards will be studied.
