| Feeder Protection Fundamentals | - Friday, November 18, 2011 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST | This webinar will review the basics of feeder protection such as characteristics of protective devices, system grounding, and principles of feeder coordination including the application of loop control with reclosers to implement automatic restoration. Coordination of fuses, circuit breakers, reclosers and sectionalizers will also be reviewed. |
| Introduction to COM600 | - Tue, Dec 6, 2011 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST | This webinar will provide a general overview of the features, benefits, and solutions provided by the COM600. COM600, the station automation device of ABB, is an all-in-one communication gateway, automation platform and user interface solution for utility and industrial distribution substations. The gateway functionality provides connectivity between substation IEDs and network-level control and management systems. The automation platform with its logic processor makes COM600 a flexible implementation platform for substation-level automation tasks. As a user interface solution COM600 accommodates web technology based functionalities providing access to substation devices and processes via a web browser based human machine interface (HMI). |
| Motor Protection Fundamentals | - Wed, December 14, 2011 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM EST | Motor protection is far less standardized than generator protection. There are many different types and sizes of motors, and a variety of applications. In an easy to understand way, this webinar will present how the different types of motors can be protected from potential hazards such as thermal damage, start-up, faults in the windings, etc. Basic motor electrical theory will also be studied. |
