Course Overview 

An electric power system consists of large equipment like generators, transformers and associated transmission and distribution network. Short circuits and other abnormal conditions often occur on a power system which leads to heavy faults resulting damage of the power apparatus. Hence it is mandatory for an Electrical Engineer to be aware of importance and operation of switch gear and protection. This course introduces all varieties of circuit breakers, conventional and static relays for protection of generators, transformers, feeder and bus bars from short over currents, over voltages and other hazards.
