Operation and Maintenance of a Gas Insulated Substation
In Operation and Maintenance of a Gas Insulated Substation, you'll learn ...
- The nature and source of defects in GIS Installations
- Maintenance methodologies to determine the quality of the SF6 insulating gas, visual and optical verifications, gas handling records, and leak detection routines
- Experiences and lessons learned on gas zone identification, secondary interface and wiring methods
- Preconstruction staff training that involves continuous monitoring, GIS retrofit and bus leak maintenance topics
Overview
This course gives real life experiences from existing GIS technology that has been in service for a number of years. It describes the nature and sources of defects including their repair. Maintenance methodologies to determine the quality of the SF6 insulating gas, visual and optical verifications, gas handling records, and leak detection routines are presented. Special practices on interlocks, gas zones, spare parts, and special equipment are discussed. Experiences and lessons learned on gas zone identification, secondary interface, wiring methods are combined and presented. Preconstruction staff training that involves continuous monitoring, GIS retrofit and bus leak maintenance topics are also discussed.
This course is intended for electrical engineers with a desire to understand the fundamentals of GIS technology operation and maintenance. It combines theory with real life experiences and presents methods and strategies that have been successfully used for a number of years.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the primary elements of a GIS installation.
- Explain GIS switching principles.
- Describe common GIS maintenance procedures.
- Explain the procedures for repairing SF6 gas leaks.
- Identify the nature and sources of faults requiring GIS installation repair.
- Describe the GIS retrofit or upgrade process.
- Determine the loading and fault limits for a GIS installation.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 16 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
