This 5-hour course will assist individuals, organizations, and suppliers with the technical requirements for metal-clad (MC) medium voltage switchgear. Metal-clad switchgear is compartmentalized to isolate all components such as instrumentation, main bus, and both incoming and outgoing connections with grounded metal barriers. This standard covers metal-clad switchgear containing devices such as power circuit breakers, other interrupting devices, switches, control, instrumentation and metering, and protective and regulating equipment.
The course materials are based entirely on IEEE C37.20.2-1999 (R2005) Standard for Metal-clad Switchgear. It will be necessary for the student to obtain a copy of IEEE C37.20.2-1999 (R2005). Rated maximum voltage levels for metal-clad switchgear range from 4.76 kV to 36 kV with main bus continuous current ratings of 1200 A, 2000 A, and 3000 A. Metal-clad switchgear also contains associated control, instruments, metering, relaying, protective, and regulating devices, as necessary. Service conditions, ratings, temperature limitations and classification of insulating materials, insulation (dielectric) withstand voltage requirements, test procedures, and applications are discussed.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
