For electrical engineers, designing and specifying switchgear for medium-voltage applications can be complex. Medium-voltage switchgear is typically designed to provide control and protection of medium-voltage power equipment and circuits in buildings involving generators, motors, distribution and feeder circuits and utility interconnection.
Learning objectives:
- Learn about different types of medium-voltage switchgear
- Understand medium-voltage standards including ANSI 37.20.2, ANSI 37.20.3, ANSI 37.20.7.
- Learn about medium-voltage circuit breakers, protective relays, types of enclosures and switchgear controls and configurations.
- Understand medium-voltage switchgear components, options and accessories.
