PRECONFERENCE COURSES

Venue: Level  4, SkyCity Convention Centre, Federal Street, Auckland QUT Introduction to Substation Design Course Dates: Monday, 17 June to Wednesday, 19 June 2013 Course Synopsis: This Course covers the major decisions required in the design of a high voltage substation, focusing on those substations which use conventional outdoor equipment.  Many of the same principles apply to the emerging use of various forms of gas-insulated and modular switchgear - especially in developing economic layouts and taking advantage of the facilities now available in secondary systems.  The emphasis in this module however will be on developing economic network substations using separate switchgear, current transformers, voltage transformers and busbars in outdoor configurations.
