E-087 HV Systems for Hydroelectric Power Plants: 2 PDH

Description of the High Voltage Systems for Hydroelectric Power Plants course

The High Voltage Systems for Hydroelectric Power Plants 2 hour PDH online course is a part of the Electrical category courses. This course discusses the high-voltage system in hydroelectric power plants which includes equipment and conductors that carry current at transmission line-voltage, with their insulators, supports, switching equipment, and protective devices. The system begins with the high-voltage terminals of the step-up power transformers and extends to the point where transmission lines are attached to the switchyard structure. High-voltage systems include those systems operating at 69 kV and above, although 34.5-kV and 46-kV systems that are subtransmission-voltage systems are also covered in this discussion.

This course will give electrical engineers and other design and construction professionals an introduction to the design, construction and safety considerations for high voltage systems in hydroelectric power plants

This course is intended for electrical engineers and other design and construction professionals wanting an introduction to high voltage systems for hydroelectric power plants.
