Course overview
Protection systems serving generation assets, transmission equipment, and applicable distribution circuits must be periodically tested and maintained so protected assets continually receive the most effective protection. When these assets are effectively protected, the Bulk Electric System maintains peak stability. Maintaining protective systems requires an understanding of terminology, standards compliance, and affected protective equipment. The Protecting Systems Maintenance Programs training course identifies protection system terminology and assets. It explains how to comply with applicable NERC standards. This online course is part of the System Protection training series.
