Get the Facts on Surge Protection
Lightning is the second or third most significant cause of outages on most
power systems. Mitigation of the effect of lightning is seldom understood and
can often be improved. This in-depth course is designed for those responsible
for the reliability of substations, distribution systems, and transmission
systems. We will cover ways to improve the lightning performance of
distribution and transmission lines by using arresters and other means.
Who Should Attend:
· Anyone new to the industry who wishes to learn the fundamentals of
lightning protection
· Standards engineers responsible for maintaining system construction and
equipment standards
· Reliability engineers and other reliability personnel responsible for
continuous improvement
· Substation designers, distribution system designers, and transmission line
designers
· Power system operations and maintenance supervisors
· Power engineering personnel who wish to broaden their scope of system
understanding
· Experienced
engineers that want to learn about the latest practices in this area
Topics:
· Surge fundamentals: lightning, switching, faults, ferroresonance,
line drops, and others
· How to select the most appropriate type of lightning protection: Shielding,
lightning rods, arresters, no protection, and possibly underground
