Key issues underpinning the design of power system equipment. Design of major power system plant components: Turbines (classifications, design, rating), Boilers(classifications, design, rating), transformers (transformer design and structure, volts per
turn calculation, non-linear transient over voltage distribution etc); overhead lines (line design and top-tower geometry based on voltage level; insulator design, thermal and current rating etc); cables (design, single core/three phase construction etc); Switchgear (types, characteristics of an electric arc etc). Substation & Substation design – earthing systems and insulation coordination.
