Substation Maintenance
(4 days)

Substation and switchyards need periodic maintenance to ensure they are functioning properly and to avoid catastrophic failures. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of substation maintenance practices, focusing on the key components and systems within electrical substations. Participants will learn the importance of routine maintenance, inspection, and testing to ensure the reliability and longevity of substation equipment. 

This class benefits:
anyone seeking understanding of the equipment used in substations and switchyards;
those who desire to broaden their knowledge of substation maintenance procedures;
anyone in the electric power industry needing an understanding of the tests and maintenance procedures used on substation equipment.

The amount of times I have tried to find a decent photo of a blank sketch book is too many. So I decided to create a few, starting with this one.
