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.
