Power Distribution, Protection and Control

Course Code

ELEC 354

Academic Year

2016-2017

This course teaches the principles of power distribution in terms of protection and control, using the concept of protective devices such as relays, CTs, PTs, circuit breakers and current injection equipment. Current injection equipment is used to simulate opening of circuit breakers. Different protection types are taught including transformers, motors, feeders and generators. Arc flash concept is also introduced in this course. Easy power software is used to develop the concept. The software will allow the students to learn the computation of power flow, short circuit and protection device coordination for a given single line diagram by using either the data collected from various sources or from the data base developed by easy power, the provider of the software.
