  • Type Of Switchgears
  • Application And Ratings Of Switchgears (High And Low Voltages)
  • Handling And Managing Switchgear
  • Operating Procedures
  • Maintenance Of Switchgear
  • Types Of Maintenance
  • Conditional Base Monitoring Maintenance

OVERVIEW

A switchgear is also known as an Electro-Mechanical Equipment or device used to close and open circuit. It is designed to the required capacity and manufactured to operate in various mode of operation, manually, semi-auto or fully automatic suitable to the required application. The switchgear is a static equipment operating at alternating current voltages necessary required to the rated voltages (high and low voltages) of the equipment.

 

This particular course is designed to provide advance knowledge and appropriate guidance as to the right procedures in the design (sizing to the rated required capacity based on maximum demand, and the short circuit current), operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of switchgear. For safety reasons, switchgear has to be equipped with specific protective devices to safeguard the switchgear itself and the switchgear operators.

 

The current challenges, especially for the switchgear operators (competent personnel as to meet the requirements stipulated by the Electricity Act and Regulations/Electricity Ordinance), who normally may not be fully equipped with much knowledge, experience and familiarization on the right approach handling of switchgears, maintenance and troubleshooting, and as a result they may not be fully capable in rectifying problems of switchgears under their cares. This often results in extra cost incurred by engaging external expertise to rectify the problems of switchgears.

AFTER ATTENDING THIS COURSE YOU WILL RETURN TO YOUR JOB...
  1. Obtaining thorough knowledge on the design as to the required capacity based on the maximum demand, and short circuit current.
  2. Performing and taking the right approach on the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting switchgear.
  3. Being able to reduce downtime due to failures of switchgears.
