PROT 401 

Protecting Power Systems for Engineers 

Course Outcomes 

At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to

•  Identify the challenges and solutions to power system protection problems.
•  Select the appropriate protection schemes for various applications.

•  Analyze power system faults for balanced and unbalanced conditions using symmetrical components. Describe current and voltage transformers and their impact on protection scheme performance.

• Identify, apply, and calculate settings for distribution and transmission line protection schemes,including overcurrent, directional overcurrent, distance, and pilot protection schemes.

•  Identify and apply power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping schemes.
• Identify, apply, and calculate settings for transformer, bus, and breaker failure protection schemes.
• Identify, apply, and calculate settings for generator and motor protection schemes.

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for engineers who need a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and solutions for protecting electrical power systems.
