Electrical System Protection & Control Handbook Vol 2 INCLUDED WITH REGISTRATION

This second volume of our Protection & Control Series offers up-to-date technical information reflecting changes in the field due to growing use of electronic and microprocessor relays.

This technical book explains the various elements of protection of electric power distribution systems. (Value $35)

DAY 1: TUTORIAL

POWER SYSTEM PROTECTION FUNDAMENTALS

TUTORIAL LEADER: Alan Wing, P.Eng., Siemens Canada

1. INTRODUCTION

2. SHORT CIRCUIT THEORY AND TERMINOLOGY

3. FAULT STUDIES

4. COMPONENTS OF PROTECTION

5. BUS AND FEEDER PROTECTION

6. TRANSFORMER PROTECTION

7. QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD

DAY 2: INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATIONS

9:00AM
FUSE PROTECTION
Lew Silecky, C.E.T., Product Manager, Power Systems, Ferraz Shawmut

Protection of electrical equipment against short circuits and overloads has not changed significantly over the years. What has changed, however, is the degree and type of protection being specified today. Delegates will learn about selecting the right protection for their circuits from electrical faults.

10:30AM -- COFFEE BREAK

10:45AM
TRANSMISSION LINE PROTECTION
Roy B. Carpenter, Jr., Chief Technologist, Lightning Eliminators & Consultants, Inc.

Since the introduction of Transmission Lines, lightning protection for these lines has been limited to the use of overhead grounded guard wires. Studies based on a statistical evaluation of transmission lines with guard wires and those without question their value. In contrast to existing conventions, a super collector has been developed, an Ion Plasma Generator (IPG) that offers a strong attractive force to incoming lightning. Three significant case histories prove the effectiveness of the IPG in preventing lightning-related line tripouts.

11:15AM
INTEGRATED PROTECTION, METERING, MONITORING AND CONTROL
Ajit Bapat, Manager, National Consultant Program, Schneider Electric Canada

The equipment utilized for power distribution systems can be fitted with modern communication technology to provide useful information to protect, optimize energy use, utilize the equipment fully, minimize maintenance costs, and obtain long reliable service. The discrete functions of protective relays, metering and control can now be effectively integrated. This presentation will discuss typical schemes and communication architecture, as well as methodology. Migration to, and retrofitting of such integrated networks in existing installations will also be discussed.

12:00PM – LUNCHEON

1:30PM
LOW VOLTAGE PROTECTION SCHEME
Abdulrazak Bhi, Senior Electrical Engineer, Power Engineering Group

Low voltage distribution systems are designed to serve loads in a save and reliable manner. One consideration in the design of any distribution network is adequate control of short-circuit or “faults”. The consequences of not controlling faults can be devastating, including injury, damaged electrical equipment, and costly downtime. This presentation will focus on the issues related to the principles and applications of low voltage protective devices and their ability to detect faults and selectively isolate faults to the nearest protective device, as well as help to avoid nuisance operation that are due to transformer inrush or motor starting operations. Further, the protective device shall also permit short clearance times to limit the fault power and the effect of arcing faults. This presentation will discuss the most commonly used protective devices in low voltage systems, which include:

2:30PM – REFRESHMENT BREAK

2:45PM - PROTECTION AND CONTROL OF INDUCTION MOTORS
David Windley, P.Eng.,C.I.M., WINTEK Engineering Ltd.

2. Application Of Motor Loads

3. Induction Motor Speed Control

4. Induction Motor And Drive Protection

5. Typical Power Converter Topologies

6. Induction Motor Control

7. Power System Effects

4:15PM – CLOSING REMARKS
