Earthing, Bonding, Lightning & Surge Protection of Electrical & Electronic Systems and Equipment

04-03-2024 - 08-03-2024 3800 Istanbul

 

Course Objectives:

 

Few topics generate as much controversy and argument as that of grounding and the associated topics of surge protection, shielding and lightning protection of electrical and electronic systems. Poor grounding practice can be the cause of continual and intermittent difficult-to-diagnose problems in a facility. This workshop looks at these issues from a fresh yet practical perspective and enables you to reduce expensive downtime on your plant and equipment to a minimum by correct application of these principles. This workshop is designed to demystify the subject of grounding and presents the subject in a clear, straightforward manner. Installation, testing and inspection procedures for industrial and commercial power systems will be examined in detail. Essentially this course is broken down into grounding, shielding and surge protection for both power and electronics systems. Grounding and surge protection for Telecommunications and IT systems are examined in detail. Finally, the impact of lightning is examined and simple techniques for minimizing its impact are described.

 

Course Objectives:

 

Towards the end of the training, the participants will be able to:

  • Apply and gain an in-depth knowledge on earthing, bonding, lightning and surge protection of electrical and electronic systems & equipment
  • Implement the recommended design and installation practices for earthing and bonding
  • Practice earthing for building electrical systems and determine the typical rules to be applied for the electrical and electronic systems & equipment
  • Apply earthing and noise control and detect  electrical faults on equipment
  • Identify the various applications of earthing and bonding and emphasize the need for a lightning protection system
  • Discuss surge and transient protection and carryout power conditioning
