In Cooper Power Systems/Missouri University of Science & Technology's three-day Distribution OverCurrent Protection Workshop, you will learn how to apply overcurrent protection schemes. Theory is put into practice while you solve practical, real-life problems. You will leave with the knowledge and tools to coordinate overcurrent devices most effectively.

In Three Days You Will Learn
Coordination procedures to incorporate into your daily routine. These include:

• Nature of Faults
• Short-circuit Calculations
• Symmetrical Components & One-line Diagrams
• Relays and Circuit Breakers
• Reclosers & Sectionalizers
• Expulsion & Current-limiting Fuses
• Transformer & Capacitor Protection
• Power Quality and Reliability Issues
• Example Calculation

Attendees
Any engineer who is involved with design or operation of overcurrent protection schemes for utilities or industry.

Instructors
All instructors are degreed engineers with practical knowledge and industry experience in distribution overcurrent protection.

Instructor teams are made up of experts from industry and the academic world. These individuals have many years of experience in power engineering applications or power engineering education. All instructors possess advanced degrees in electrical engineering with specialization in electric power systems.

Workshop Format

• Questions and discussion
• Demonstrations
• Problem solving using custom software
• Lecture

Important Benefits
Other workshops cannot provide the combination of experienced engineers, hands-on learning, technical information, a comprehensive reference manual and custom software.

Cooper Power Systems and Missouri University of Science & Technology offers the unique combination of real world, everyday problem-solving skills, and instructors with extensive hands-on field experience.

The comprehensive reference manual, specially prepared for the Distribution OverCurrent Protection Workshop, is a thorough, professional resource written by Cooper Power Systems engineers with practical information to help you accomplish your day-to-day objectives.

Travel and Lodging
Participants are responsible for travel and living expenses and making their own reservations. Lunches and refreshments at breaks are included in the fee.

Why do people choose CPS/Missouri S&T workshops?
Let the participants tell you …
“Your work experience, related to what we do in the field, helps a lot."
"The course let me see how some of the system components fit into the overall operation rather than just modeling them to fit programs."
"I liked the pace of the seminar. It gave me a good understanding of how voltage regulations affects the quality of power delivered."

In-House Training
The CPS/Missouri S&T Systems Integration Workshops are available for in-house training. The cost for the three-day courses are $20,500 for the Distribution OverCurrent Protection workshop, $19,900 for all other three day courses and $14,500 for the two-day courses within the continental United States. Workshops outside of the continental United States will have to be priced individually. Please contact Dr. Keith Stanek at Missouri S&T's Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at (573) 341-4545 for additional information about on-site training.

Course Units
Completion of this workshop awards 21 PDHs (Professional Development Hours), equivalent to 2.1 CEUs.
