Module Content

Lecture:

Planning, design and dimensioning of the protection technology of electrical power supply networks (e.g. high-voltage overhead lines, cable networks, gas-insulated switchgear). The following aspects are covered:

-         Design, mode of operation, nominal data of current and voltage transformers

-         Function of protective devices and selectivity in electrical systems and networks

-         Use of overcurrent relays as well as distance, differential and breaker failure backup protection in high-voltage networks

 

Laboratory:

-         Examination of current transformers

-         Setting and testing of overcurrent relays and differential relays

-         Investigation of distance protection in radial, ring and parallel line networks
