| Summary: | Lightning is a natural phenomenon which cannot be prevented. By its very nature, lightning presents a major threat to structures, systems and people. Effective, correctly installed lightning protection is vital in order to save lives, reduce the risk of damage caused and avoid costly disruption to business critical systems. Presented by experts from Cobham Technical Services this intensive one day course examines the phenomena and physics of lightning, and provides an understanding of lightning standards. The potential for damage and concepts by which structures and electrical systems can be protected from direct lightning strikes, will also be studied. The course also examines the application of earthing and bonding techniques, together with the design and test techniques which are necessary for designing effective lightning protection. Case studies are used to illustrate the application of various protection systems for a variety of buildings and systems. |

| Summary: | The secure and reliable supply of electricity is vital to the success of all modern industrial and commercial business processes, and Electrical Circuit Protection (ECP) plays a particularly important role in achieving this. In order to prevent severe supply disruption or health and safety risks, systems need to be protected from the consequences of overload and fault conditions. This course will give you an insight into electrical circuit protection systems, what they do and how they function. The course highlights the importance of ECP, covers the protection of all major plant and provides a methodology for selecting settings which can be used on your own designs. |

| Summary: | This two day course investigates the technical, safety and commercial aspects of distributed generators. Focusing on key engineering recommendations, such as G59/1, G77 and G83, which set the standards for connection to the distribution system, it explains the relevance of the applicable regulations and gives guidance on achieving compliance. |

| Summary: | Power systems study is the use of computer software to calculate the performance of electrical power systems. These studies are essential to support the design of electrical systems or determine the operational performance that can be expected from an existing system, especially if it is to be reconfigured. The scope and complexity of system studies varies greatly, from simple power flow and fault calculations to establish compliance with BS 7671, through to detailed stability analysis. Studies can also be very data intensive and the parameters required may not be routinely encountered, and therefore not readily acquired or estimated. The benefits that even simple system studies can offer are often overlooked. The course will allow you to undertake these studies more readily. It is ideal for those needing to understand what system studies can offer and how they can be approached. It will also be valuable to those who are tasked with conducting studies and those who may be required to specify and control studies being conducted by a third party. The techniques will be demonstrated using power systems software with the opportunity for hands-on working. The course will include: - Load flow
