Students analyse and design devices and schemes to protect electrical power apparatus and systems. They explain the philosophy, principles, concepts and practices, the codes, standards and manuals that guide design and operation of protection schemes They analyse protection schemes, solve protection problems and correct faults. Students identify requirements, analyse and design protection for power system networks and for apparatus in electrical power systems. They develop fluency in the technical language of power systems protection and develop professional skills needed to communicate, learn and work alone and collaboratively to solve problems and document the solution process. Distance education (FLEX) students are required to have access to a computer and make frequent use of the Internet.
