Medium Voltage Switchgear

OVERVIEW Each training program provides the basic skills required to safely operate Siemens switchgear and circuit breakers. Classroom, video tapes, and hands on experience on a section of switchgear are employed. Sample circuit breakers are used for maintenance, trouble shooting, and replacement of typical parts. Proper methods for performing the insulation resistance tests, dielectric and vacuum integrity tests, and contact resistance tests are demonstrated and completed by the students. Additional equipment typically found on medium voltage switchgear such as protective relays and metering devices is discussed.   OUTLINE

1. Identify switchgear and its ratings
2. Rack breakers into or out of connected position safely
3. Perform rack out/lock out/tag out procedure
4. Mechanical and electrical switchgear operation
5. Locate and replace close and trip coils and motors
6. Interpret Siemens schematics and wiring diagrams
7. Proper lubrication of circuit breaker and cubicle
8. Test insulation and vacuum integrity
