Substation Maintenance 1: Breakers, Batteries, & Grounding

TUITION: $1,760*
DURATION: 4.0 Days (32 hours, 8am – 4pm)
CEU: 3.2 Units
PREREQUISITES: Students should have basic electrical training, some field experience and basic knowledge of switchgear.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This class provides the information and hands-on training to test and maintain most of the major components of the substation except for the main transformer and protective relays. It includes Hands-on (~40%) training augmented with round-table discussions.

*Tuition price is for open enrollments, does not include costs for on-site bookings.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Theory, construction and operation of common types of medium voltage metal-enclosed switchgear and circuit breakers, including air-magnetic and vacuum.
• Interpret ratings and nameplate data to identify breaker ratings and limitations.
• Understand how med-voltage circuit breakers operate and know the causes of failure.
• Safety requirements when operating, racking, testing or maintaining breakers.
• Required testing and maintenance of medium-voltage metal-enclosed circuit breakers, and switchgear in accordance with ANSI/NETA MTS.
• Tests commonly performed on circuit breakers and their associated
  switchgear.
• Maintain station batteries in accordance with ANSI/NETA MTS.
• Ground testing theory and interpreting test results in accordance with ANSI/ NETA MTS.
• How to download and distribute Schweitzer (SEL) relay event files.

Hands-on Lab Session:

• Racking circuit breakers.
• Perform and evaluate common circuit breaker electrical tests including insulation resistance, DC overpotential, contact resistance, insulation power factor and timing utilizing equipment from a variety of manufacturers.
• Perform routine maintenance on medium-voltage air and vacuum circuit breakers.
• Perform clamp-on ground test and interpret the results.
• Test and evaluate battery systems.
• Perform fall-of-potential ground test and interpret results.
