Grounding, Bonding, Lightning & Surge Protection of Utilities & Industries

This course provides a comprehensive illustration of the various elements of design and practical installations associated with Earthing, Bonding, Lightning, and Surge Protection employed in Electrical Systems. There are Practical Examples provided for up-to-date theory, practice, and knowledge necessary for Design, Construction, Personal Safety, Operations, Power Quality, and problem-solving and managing Electrical Facilities.
 

The course offers a complete coverage of grounding and bonding procedures, electrical code requirements, substation and safety grounding, sensitive electronic equipment, and lightning/surge protection. Every day, case studies used to reinforce knowledge of the grounding and bonding principles will be studied during this course. Various disciplines of engineers working in Industrial Plants who require knowledge of Earthing Systems to ensure the safety of people, electrical equipment, and buildings would highly benefit.
