Course Description:

Dear Aspiring Engineers and Industry Pros,

In the world of electrical power engineering, the safety and reliability of power systems are paramount. Among the critical components ensuring this safety is the transformer, a device that steps up or down voltage levels for transmission over long distances. However, when excessive current flows through a transformer, it can lead to potential damage, system failure, or even catastrophic events. This is where Overcurrent Protection (OCP) becomes an indispensable safeguard.

Overcurrent Protection: A Critical Shield for Power Transformers

Overcurrent protection is a sophisticated system designed to detect and respond to abnormal levels of current flow, thus preventing potential harm to the transformer and associated equipment. This protective measure relies on the precise tuning of protective relays that monitor both the magnitude and duration of the current. If these parameters exceed predetermined thresholds, the relay acts swiftly by isolating the transformer from the power system, typically by activating circuit breakers or other disconnecting devices.

This course delves into the various OCP schemes, including primary and secondary protection, time-overcurrent (TOCV), instantaneous overcurrent (IOCV), and directional overcurrent (DOCV) protection. We'll explore the nuances of each and understand why the choice of protection type is critical for system safety and efficiency.
