Fundamentals of Electrical Switchgear
This electrical engineering course explains how electrical switchgear schemes protect circuits, motors and busbars from damage caused by surges and outages.
In this online certificate course, you will study the protection of motors and busbars using electrical switchgear. Explore how they protect against transients and surges, arc interruption theory, types of circuit breakers and the testing, commissioning, and maintenance of relays. An understanding of protection systems is crucial in power networks, so the knowledge obtained in this course will be an invaluable addition to your resume.
