UNDERGROUND POWER CABLES SYSTEM PRINCIPLES
Date: 19-22 July 2022, 9am-1pm AEST
Delivery: Online Seminar (Live Streamed via ZOOM)
Introduction
Reliable Utility engineers, architect-engineering personnel, developers and industrials are often faced with considering an underground cable option as a portion of an otherwise overhead line, to connect nearby substations, as entry to an already congested substation, or in urban setting where underground transmission or distribution is the only alternative. The attendees of this seminar will gain an overall understanding of the major underground cable system types including extruded and self-contained, their characteristics and details about elements of design, manufacturing, testing, installation and operation of underground transmission and distribution cables.
Who Should Attend?
This seminar will be of interest to those wanting to gain a fundamental understanding about underground cable systems, components and applications, including alternatives to building power transmission and distribution circuits overhead. While analytical topics are discussed, this is primarily an informational course. Attendees of this course should be generally familiar with power systems; a background in electrical, mechanical or civil engineering will be helpful in understanding some concepts.
