Duration 1 Hour

The purpose of this course is to teach transmission and distribution (T&D) personnel to recognize the basic elements in a distribution system and to understand, in general, how each element works. The course also introduces basic protective devices and the process of sectionalizing. At the conclusion of this course, participants should know how to recognize transformers, voltage regulators, and capacitors. They should also have a basic understanding of how these devices work. Participants should also be able to identify basic protective devices used on distribution systems to protect the system and its components from damage and its customers from outages. And participants should have a basic understanding of how distribution systems are laid out.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Define the term “distribution system”, ``transformer``, ``capacitor`` and ``voltage regulator`` as it relates to this course.

Explain how a transformer, voltage regulator and capacitor works.

List the basic components that make up a distribution system and explain two devices that protect a distribution system from excessive current flow caused by voltage surges.

Explain the basic difference between primary distribution voltage and secondary distribution voltage and how circuit breakers operate to protect a distribution feeder from the effects of faults.

Given a simplified diagram, identify the basic elements common to most transformers. Recognize and identify pole top, pad-mounted, and subsurface transformers.

List and explain three types of distribution lines and three categories of distribution lines and the classification of voltage carried by each line.

Explain how sectionalizing can be accomplished to protect customers from long outages and how reclosers operate to protect a distribution system from the effects of faults.

Explain how reclosers and sectionalizers provide coordinated protection for a distribution system and how sectionalizing can be accomplished using reclosers and sectionalizers.
