This course, Practical Power System Protection Techniques, provides an in-depth understanding of the methods and strategies used to protect various components of power systems. Designed for electrical engineering students and professionals, this course covers the critical aspects of protecting generators, transformers, and induction motors from faults and irregular operating conditions. Participants will learn about different protection schemes, the implementation of modern technologies in protection systems, and the significance of routine maintenance. Key topics include:

• Fault protection strategies for generators, including rotor earth fault protection and loss of excitation protection.
• An overview of transformer protection techniques, such as Buchholz relay, differential protection, and overcurrent protection.
• Comprehensive insights into induction motor protection, focusing on thermal protection, short circuit protection, and voltage protection.

Upon completing this course, students will have a robust understanding of power system protection techniques and be well-prepared to handle the challenges associated with maintaining and protecting electrical power systems.
