TIME: 08h30 to 16h00, with lunch and refreshments be provided

The first session of this one day technical seminar will review the technology implemented by the various tests that need to be done during the design, installation and commissioning phases of a new electrical system.

The second session will look at what is required to maintain a live system to ensure that it operates efficiently, and most importantly, should a serious fault occur, that the system will absorb the fault energy and keep the system safe.

Tests will be demonstrated on a live installation where possible, as well as on a simulated system.
