Low Voltage and Medium Voltage Switchgear O & M

This course provides comprehensive knowledge of the operation, maintenance, testing, and troubleshooting of Low Voltage (LV) and Medium Voltage (MV) switchgear systems used in electrical power installations. Participants will understand the construction, functions, and applications of circuit breakers, isolators, contactors, relays, busbars, and protection devices. The course covers safe switching procedures, equipment inspection, preventive maintenance, and condition monitoring practices. It explains electrical protection concepts and the coordination of protective devices for reliable system operation. Participants will learn about common switchgear faults and systematic troubleshooting techniques. The course also addresses insulation resistance testing, contact resistance testing, and other essential diagnostic methods. Practical approaches to maintenance scheduling and equipment performance assessment are discussed. Safety procedures, isolation practices, earthing, and electrical permit-to-work requirements are emphasized throughout the training. The course helps participants improve equipment reliability, minimize unexpected failures, and extend switchgear service life. It is suitable for professionals involved in electrical operation, maintenance, commissioning, and power distribution systems.
