Other Courses

  • Distance Protection

    In the first session of the program, we will discuss the basic measurement principle and construction of the distance protection. Distance protection is a complex protection and basic understanding of the protection makes the user extremely comfortable in working with this complex protection. This 2- hour webinar provides a good insight on the construction of the distance protection and some basic application criteria. This webinar will enable the protection engineers to feel extremely comfortable with the complex protection. Understanding the complexity of the protection increases system reliability and increases the productivity of the test engineers. 


    In the second 2-hour session we will concentrate mainly of testing and protection evaluation aspect. The meaningful testing of the complex digital protection will be discussed using the commercially available power system simulators. 


    Use of ComTrade data in protection evaluation will be discussed in detail. Learn more here.
