This 5-hour course reviews overvoltage situations on electric utility distribution systems and the primary methods to protect the utility system from overvoltages. The principle cause of overvoltages on an electric distribution system is lightning surges. Lightning surges are covered in detail as well as the design and operation of surge arresters. Protection methods including shielding, surge arrester application, and structure design are discussed. The importance of grounding to proper overvoltage protection is also reviewed.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the lightning-flash mechanism.
- Describe the design and operation of surge arresters.
- Apply shielding, surge arresters, and structure design to protect overhead electric utility equipment.
- Describe methods for protecting underground electric utility lines.
- Calculate the grounding resistance of single- and multiple-rod grounding systems.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 28 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
