Our Substation Maintenance Training course is a 12-hour, instructor-led live online program designed to equip electrical professionals with practical knowledge on testing and maintenance procedures for substation equipment. This training is ideal for utility personnel, substation technicians, and engineers responsible for the reliability and operation of medium- to high-voltage systems.
Substation maintenance is a critical component of a comprehensive electrical asset management strategy. Failure to properly maintain substation equipment like circuit breakers, switchgear, relays, and racking mechanisms can lead to serious power system disruptions and unplanned outages. Our course emphasizes proactive testing, routine diagnostics, and inspection techniques that extend the life of substation assets and reduce operational risk.
The program covers a wide range of electrical substation components, including:
-
Power transformers
-
Air, oil, and vacuum circuit breakers
-
Grounding systems
-
Switchgear
-
Batteries and chargers
-
Protective relays
-
Insulating fluids and liquids
Participants will gain a solid understanding of real-time maintenance planning, how to interpret test data, and how to troubleshoot early signs of equipment failure using data analytics and field-based inspections.
