Course overview:
The course combines theory and practice together. This is a unique content that currently is mission from many similar courses. The theory explained during the course is based only on basic theoretical principles and then is linked with current standard references (BS, IEEE) and DNO specifications which are the main requirements when designing an earthing system. Practice includes not only design examples but also real measurements and real installation (correct vs wrong) examples of components and systems.

Participation cost per attendee:
- 640,00£ +VAT (handouts, coffee, refreshments and light lunch included)
Maximum number of attendees:
- 12 people is the maximum number we believe it will allow all the attendees to interact and participate in a way so as to solve problems and clarify questions. A higher number limits the ability of interaction and discussions and therefore the attendee will not get the maximum training.
Course overview:
The aim of this course is to outline the basic theory about lightning risk and lightning protection. The course starts with an introduction to the risks due to lightning and the possibility for the designer to evaluate if these risks are relevant to his case study. Moreover design techniques as per national and European standards will be explained. Special attention will be placed in new trends (i.e. separation distance, high frequency earthing) in lightning protection standards. The course will cover mainly ordinary structures without special geometry but with a variety of use (i.e. residential, commercial, entertainment, IT, hospitals etc).

Course overview:
This course includes an introduction to the generation and transmission of overvoltages due to lightning, switching and power outages. Protection techniques, protection devices and selection & co-ordination of protective measures will be analyzed. The course will cover all requirements as listed in BS wiring regulations as well as in more specialized standards for overvoltage protection (i.e. 61643 series). The protection of power and telecommunication applications will be presented including renewable energy applications. Check here for the analytical overview and registration form.

Course overview:
New standard developments identify the requirement for evaluating the induced voltages generated by a power line (overhead or buried) when running close to (1000m) a pipeline (above or below ground). The evaluation shall include induced voltages able to cause dangerous conditions to humans and equipment during steady state and short circuit conditions. Additionally the effect of a nearby lightning strike to the pipeline shall also be evaluated. In all above cases appropriate protective measures shall be designed and installed. The aim of this course is to outline all above requirements. Check here for the analytical overview and registration form.
