Credit: 3 CPD

Length: 50 pages

This 3-hour course is the second in a series of courses on the design of electrical substations. The courses do not necessarily have to be taken in order and, for the most part, are stand-alone courses.

This course covers the general layout of a substation, typical bus configurations, insulation protection, substation insulators, and clearances.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify the parameters associated with transmission substations.
• Explain how switching substations are used.
• Describe the typical bus configurations used in each type of substation.
• Compare the relative costs of the various substation designs.
• Explain how insulation protection schemes are designed.
• Identify the required electrical clearances for substation operation.
• Apply derating factors to substation equipment.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 25 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
