Course Overview
Lightning strokes, as dangerous surges, cause considerable harm to human beings, buildings, industrial, and petrol installations as well as to electric power systems generation plants, transmission and distribution networks and their equipment. An understanding of the lightning phenomena, testing of electrical equipment to guarantee withstand lightning strokes and protective measures for systems, buildings, human beings, etc, seems necessary.
Course Objective
This course is thus, devoted to the qualification of utilities electrical power engineers and specialists to be capable for properly and effectively dealing with the lightning phenomena, protection measures against lightning surges and equipment testing to prove capable to withstand lightning strokes.
Who Should Attend?
Especially electrical power engineers should attend. Supervisors and qualified technicians can get considerable upgrading education. The course is also beneficial for other engineers such as mechanical, communication and petrol engineers.
