PROTECTIVE DEVICE COORDINATION FOR INDUSTRY

4 days
3.2 CEUs
Hands-on

Tuition USD $1500

The goal of protective device coordination is to allow the normal operating parameters, open the circuits before components are damaged and to limit the outage to the smallest area through selectivity. Protective device coordination deals with proper selection and settings of relays breakers and fuses. These studies can be used to verify the correct fuse size and determine the proper settings for existing breakers and relays, or as an aid to selection of new equipment. If a short circuit were to occur the possibility exists that the entire plant could be affected. The affects could include damaged equipment, lost productivity, and revenue as well as injury to employees. With a proper protective device coordination study employees will be able to assess their facility and ensure the proper operation of the plants electrical system. A proper protective devices coordination study is required to provide correct input data to the facilities arc flash hazard assessment.

Learning Objectives
• Protective device coordination accepted practices

• Interpret time-current curves for fuses, circuit breakers and overcurrent relays

• Identify conductor and equipment damage and operating characteristics

• Develop sample protective device coordination study using SKM System Analysis, Inc.^TM Power Tools for Windows^®

Who Should Attend
Designed for engineers and supervisors responsible for selection and calibration of overcurrent protective devices.

Protective Device Coordination I has recently been revised and as a result will become Protective Device Coordination for Industry and shorten from 4 days to 3. The final presentations of the 4 day format will be Oct 19-22 in Dallas and Sept 21-24 in Valley Forge.

Requirements
Bring a laptop with Windows^® XP, NT or Vista, Pentium II 300+ Mhz, 140+ MB hard drive space, 64+ MB of RAM, CD-ROM drive, and administrative privileges in order to install software.
