P3 - Practical Advanced Protection Training Reviews

Great introduction to relay test blocks and how to carry out various tests.

Great course for relay connection and testing. Programming of relay logic and directional testing would have been nice to learn more about

Chris was very knowledgeable and helpful. Facilities and equipment are great. Recommendation would be to provide a course book exercise in order to bridge theory and practical understanding gap. For example have a proposed design of the system and allow student to work out calculations, pick and apply settings, finishing with actual system testing. Overall very satisfying course.

Minor feedback - no butter with jacket potato. Other than that course was fantastic.

Very good course, informative, excellent use of all types of test sets including latest modern set

Course was excellent, getting exposure to different relays was very beneficial. One benefit would possibly be to do some programming/testing on differential relays and motor managers. These are 2 protection systems that we use a lot on site.

Excellent course. Very beneficial for my role. Could do with more variety of relays, ie differential, distance protection.

More could be fit into the time slots e. Finishing later 430pm

Overall the course was good. Possible improvements to consider: crib sheets for each piece of equipment i.e. each tester and each relay. The crib sheets could include menu structure of each item. Other improvements could be to have more structure to the Tues to Fri sessions. Perhaps half a day max on each relay allowing time to see more of the equipment.

For the advanced training course it would be nice to do practical testing of the advanced protection features. E.g. Distance protection, Differential Protection, directional overcurrent and reverse power testing. Also I think it would be beneficial to go through the connections on the test block rather than being pre wired, I think it would be beneficial to have candidates wire the test blocks themselves to better help understand what cables are required for different tests.
