In a power system, there are different types of electrical cables that differ in configuration, size, and utility. The selection of proper electrical cable is crucial in the installation of equipment as
it comes with a specific voltage rating and current consumption rate. A standard power system is not complete without earthing protection as they are prone to deficiencies.
Due to the instability caused by faults in power systems, It is crucial to identify the point of fault accurately and trip only those segments affected by the error while the rest of the structure can
continue to run naturally.
This course is an introductory course for wiring, earthing and electrical power system protection. It aims to give a comprehensive-to-date presentation of the role of power protection systems,
wiring and its advances in modern power systems.
