Course Overview:
This course focuses on the application of protective devices on a distribution system. In this two-day
class, you will cover the best practices for protecting transformers and equipment while maintaining the highest reliability possible. To begin, the protection of substation transformers, as well as coordination with
distribution feeders and downline devices, will be presented. You will work through the application considerations of circuit breakers, relays, reclosers, sectionalizers, and fuses; and the methodologies to verify source impedances
for system models, the effect of transformer connections on fault current calculations, and the concept of assumed fault impedance. To keep the class practical, the class will work through problems that reinforce the concepts and topics covered.
