Workshop Planning of switchgears in industrial networks and critical infrastructures

Requirements for switchgears - important aspects for safe and reliable network operation

Correct planning of switchgear in combination with earthing and lightning protection is of critical importance for the safe operation of an electrical grid. Making the right decision will also ensure safe and economical operation for years to come. Some important aspects in this respect are choosing the right design and performing regular testing, e.g. of the earthing system and the external and internal lightning protection.

The objective of this workshop is a concise and practical illustration of planning fundamentals for switchgears in industrial networks and critical infrastructures. The necessity of detailed concepts for both external and internal lightning protection of electrical systems will also be discussed. We will use practical examples to give you interesting insights into typical challenges in the planning of switchgears.


Main topics:

• Introduction to typical switchgear configurations depending on the network connection
• Design and dimensioning of switchgears
• Short-circuit calculations
• Earthing concept for switchgears
• Potential equalisation
• Safety concepts
• Electromagnetic compatibility
• Lightning protection

Target Audience:
This workshop is aimed at engineering personnel working for industrial companies, public utilities and electricity companies who are involved in the design, development and/or operation of electrical grids.

For more information, please refer to the leaflet.


On request, DNV can also provide in-house training (content, location and duration can be adapted to you specific wishes). Please contact us for more information.
