Course Description

This course is dedicated to Ring Main Units, and medium-voltage distribution cables which are highly important for power distribution systems. The course covers the most significant aspects of ring systems and their role in different topologies of power systems and continuity of electrical feeding to consumers.

The cours econsists of 18 lectures in 4h 41m total length. English subtitles are included.

The course is straightforward. It begins with an introduction to ring and radial distribution systems, their differences, and their man components. As it progresses, it discusses the significant challenges that engineers and technicians often have when working with various electrical equipment installed in Ring Systems.

Students will learn what is the Load Break Switch (LBS), and what is the difference between LBS, Isolating Switch (IS) and Circuit Breaker (CB).

The course further explains the importance of Earthing Switch (ES) and the mechanical interlock.

You will learn the concept of a transformer kiosk (Kiosk) and its basic components.

The course explains in a detail steps for calculating electrical power cables on the medium voltage Ring System, such as load current capacity and thermal current capacity calculations.

Students will learn various methods for calculating the cross-section area (C.S.A) of the medium voltage cables installed in the Ring System, as well as how to calculate the voltage drop (VD) for each part of the Ring System.
