Electrical engineering is the science that studies the use of electricity and the equipment used to generate, distribute, and control it.
The short course videos form part of a professional development series and are designed to provide you with critical knowledge and practical tools that can be immediately applied to the workplace. They include lectured recordings and practical online materials that can be studied at your own pace.
Failure to efficiently disconnect faults elsewhere in the network or failure in switchgear itself is costly, resulting in additional loss of supply, damage to equipment and possibly fatal injury, to personnel.
It is therefore critically important that switchgear is operated and maintained correctly, within an overall asset management regime that is both economic and effective in securing a high level of system reliability.
