Training: Switching & Lightning Transients

May 12 - May 15
$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

  • Understand the challenges around transient studies

  • Know the data required for transient studies and where to find typical data

  • Know the main steps to perform an insulation coordination study (switching, lightning, TRV)

  • Know how to interpret the results provided by EMT-type software.

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

 

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.
