Electrical Maintenance Techniques: Circuit Protection Devices and Power Protection Relays

This unit develops an understanding of the function, operation and routine maintenance requirements associated with circuit protection devices and protection. It is recommended that An Introduction to Electrical Maintenance: Electrical Protection Methods is completed before undertaking this Training Standard and that Electrical Maintenance Practice: Circuit Protection Devices and Power Protection Relays is completed in conjunction with this Training Standard.

Learning Objectives : 

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

  • Outline the function and operation of circuit protection devices and power protection relays.
  • Outline typical signs of fault, damage, wear and corrosion in circuit protection devices and power protection relays.
  • Describe typical routine maintenance requirements of circuit protection devices and power protection relays.
  • Equipment – circuit protection devices and power protection relays.
  • Routine maintenance techniques for circuit protection devices and power protection relays.
  • Technical information and guidelines.

 

Teaching methods :

  • The course will be delivered by means of classroom lectures and practical workshop exercices. 
  • Written questions could be supported by oral questions using equipment in the workshop – for example, identifying and naming faults or damage on a piece of equipment and/or describe the sequence of dismantling a piece of equipment.
  • Assessments can also be combined with other units where relevant, for example Electrical Maintenance Practice: Circuit Protection Devices and Protection.
  • Pre & post course tests are performed to measure knowledge acquisition.
