Foundation Programme for Electrical Substation Design

Course Introduction

This course focuses on one question: how do teams in power, control and instrumentation systems apply Electrical Substation Design consistently and safely under real constraints? Five days of discussion, exercises and case work provide practical answers you can adapt to your own organisation.

Training Objectives

• 01Explain the core principles, terminology and standards behind Electrical Substation Design in clear, practical language
• 02Select and adapt suitable approaches to Electrical Substation Design for the constraints of power, control and instrumentation systems
• 03Diagnose weak spots in current practice and prioritise corrective action
• 04Use practical tools, checklists and templates that support day-to-day Electrical Substation Design
• 05Leave with a prioritised list of improvements you can start within 30 days

What You Will Take Away

• A field-ready checklist you can use on your next job
• Worked calculation and troubleshooting examples
• Reference tables and rules of thumb for daily decisions

Who Should Attend

• Electrical Engineers & Technicians
• Instrumentation Engineers
• Maintenance Electricians
• Plant Supervisors

Prerequisites: No prior specialist knowledge is required.

Training Methodology

The programme builds understanding step by step: short concept sessions, guided demonstrations and simple exercises, followed by a daily recap so nothing is left behind. Case material and examples are drawn from power, control and instrumentation systems.
