Switching & Lightning Transients – Online

September 22, 2025
$200 – $1000

Overview

This training will be held in English.

This course is designed to provide a deep understanding of switching and lightning transient phenomena using EMTP®. By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Understand switching and lightning transient phenomena

  • Identify the challenges involved in transient studies

  • Gather and interpret the necessary data for transient studies

  • Perform insulation coordination studies covering switching and lightning

This course includes hands-on exercises and guided examples to build both theoretical understanding and practical skills.

Training structure

The training lasts for 4 days, running daily from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., except for the first and last days, which end at 11:00 a.m. The sessions will be conducted in English.

Computer and temporary EMTP® licenses

Every participant is required to bring their own personal computer. Temporary EMTP® licenses will be provided to participants for the course’s duration.

Intended audience

This training is ideal for T&D electrical engineers, consultants, industry professionals, researchers, and post-graduate students involved in power system studies.

Ticket types

Regular Ticket (Full Admission)

Includes a temporary EMTP® license, access to live Q&A, and participation in small hands-on labs with personalized support. Ideal for those who want to actively practice during the training.

Listener Ticket  (Listen Only)

Grants full access to all presentations and sessions but excludes EMTP® licenses and lab participation. Best for those who prefer to focus on listening only.
