Contents
The topics of this course are the electrical properties and technology of power transformers, circuit breakers, disconnectors , current and voltage transformers, fuses, and surge arresters and their selection principles. The course includes also the structure of low voltage network, transformer substations and main substations and technical properties. The devices will come familiar during laboratory exercises.
Recommended or Required Reading and Other Learning Resources/Tools
Olavi Mäkinen: Sähkölaitokset (chapters 9-12, 15-17). Vesa Verkkonen: Sähkökojeet - muuntajat (chapters 3 ja 4 partly and formula collection). Material available in pdf-format
Mode of Delivery / Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods
Properties and selection criteria of equipment related to electrical utilities are learn during lectures. Knowldge is deepened in laboratory sessions where properties of certain equipment are measures and studied in practice. In addition, the use of equipment and their function in power transmission and distribution process is studied in real environment by visiting a 110/20kV substation.
