Electrical Safety, Protection and Relays
Hands on learning in protection, relays, and Safe Systems of Work for engineers committed to safety and performance.
12th – 13th October 2026 Live Online
Key Learning Outcomes
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
Gain an in depth grasp of both HV and LV electrical protection systems, importance of discrimination, settings, and fault analysis.
Learn the critical role of CTs and VTs in relaying accurate signals, including proper selection, installation, and avoiding pitfalls.
Familiarize with protection methods such as overcurrent, differential, distance, motor, generator, transformer, and arc flash protection.
Develop the ability to diagnose issues and apply best practices to mitigate risks, ensuring rapid and precise responses in critical settings.
