Unit Synopsis
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.

Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Assessment Tasks
| Assessment Task | Weighting |
|---|---|
| 1. Written Assessment | 30% |
| 2. Online Quiz(zes) | 30% |
| 3. Examination | 40% |
| 4. Written Assessment | 0% |
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).
