Electrical disconnectors are critical devices used to break electrical circuits and isolate or de-energize sections of an electrical network. As such, they play a vital role in ensuring safety and maintaining the integrity of the network.
During the course, learners will be introduced to the different types of electrical disconnectors available in the market. They will learn about the main components of a disconnector and how they work together to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, the course will delve into the various designs of disconnectors, including centre break, vertical break, and others, to provide a comprehensive understanding of their unique features and applications.
The purpose and function of earthing switches, another essential component of a high voltage electrical network, will also be covered. Learners will explore the technical requirements and specifications for disconnectors and earthing switches, including the conditions necessary for their effective operation.
Finally, the course will provide guidance on how to conduct condition assessments and maintenance on disconnectors to ensure their longevity and efficiency. Upon completion of the course, learners will be well-versed in identifying the different types of electrical disconnectors, understanding their components, and conducting maintenance to keep them operating optimally.
Hope to see you on the course!
