The IEEE Southern Alberta PES/IAS Chapter is hosting a “Current Interruption Transients Analysis” course presented by Dr David Peelo. Course details is summarized below.

Dates: October 6-8, 2015 (8:30 – 16:30)
Location: University of Calgary, MacEwan Centre, Escalus Room
Description: This advanced course covers the origin and derivation of the transient recovery voltage (TRV) requirements for circuit breakers applied for fault clearing and the switching of inductive and capacitive loads. The course first develops the fundamental concepts involved in current making and breaking including oscillatory circuits, pole factors and travelling waves. The developed concepts are then applied to the individual current interruption case TRVs and associated re-ignitions or restrikes and to making and breaking capacitive and inductive circuits. All cases are well illustrated by real examples. At the end of the course, attendees will have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the TRV requirements in IEC and IEEE standards and also know how to deal with exceptional cases.
