Чему вы научитесь

  • Explain what a transformer does and distinguish oil-filled from dry-type designs.
  • Describe the key transformer health factors: oil condition, temperature and loading.
  • Explain the three jobs of switchgear — switching, protection and isolation.
  • Distinguish an isolator, a contactor and a circuit breaker and state what each may and may not do.
  • Describe conceptually how a protection relay detects a fault and trips a breaker.
  • Follow substation access and awareness rules as non-electrical staff, including oil containment and SF₆ awareness.
