This 5-hour course is the eighth in a series of courses on the design of electrical substations. The courses do not necessarily have to be taken in order and, for the most part, are stand-alone courses.
This course covers the design issues related to site design and preparation and the design of foundations for the substation structures. Control house design issues are also discussed.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the types of substation yard designs.
- Describe the preliminary site design requirements for a substation.
- Design a site drainage system using the principles presented in the course.
- Develop an erosion protection system using the design considerations presented.
- Distinguish among the types of foundation designs used for substations.
- Explain the benefits of drilled shafts.
- Design a drilled shaft using the methods presented in the course.
- Describe the design of a spread footing.
- Design a slab-on-grade using the applicable design principles.
- Develop an oil tank separator system using the design approach presented.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 30 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
