SYLLABUS - Electrical Protection Systems
SYLLAB
II .- SUMILLA
The subject provides the student with the theoretical and practical concepts of the
following: - Failures in electrical systems
- Basic protections against disturbance conditions of the electrical system and
actions to minimize the effects of the aforementioned disturbance.
In the course the student analyzes and calculates the values of the electrical
parameters in a fault condition. Determines the adjustment and coordination of
equipment for the protection of electrical feeders through the principle of overcurrent
and distance; Finally, it applies the principle of differential protection and
complementary devices for the protection of power transformers.
III .- AIM
At the end of the course the student must satisfactorily do the following:
- Clearly conceptualize the fundamentals of protection against failures of electrical
systems (Fault conditions, type and statistics).
- Calculate the electrical parameters (current voltage) under system disturbance
conditions. Symmetric and asymmetric faults.
- Select auxiliary equipment (potential current transformers).
- Adjust and coordinate fault protection devices in the
electrical feeders; using overcurrent and distance principles.
- Apply differential protection and complementary protections for the
protection of power transformers.
IV .- LEARNING UNITS

abnormal frequencies, addressability).
- Short circuit
Initial short circuit alternating current, impulse current, permanent short circuit
current, breaking alternating current.
- Failure statistics.
