Mastering Power System Protection – Principles and Design Techniques
This course will help delegates to understand the capabilities of electro-mechanical and numerical protection and that electrical network integrity depends on a well-conceived and correctly implemented protection philosophy that satisfies the conflicting requirements of dependability, security of speed.
You will learn how numerical or micro-processor based relaying schemes operate, their advantages and disadvantages compared with electro-mechanical relaying schemes and why today’s numerical protection unit is not just a relay but a multi-function protection control and monitoring system.
The course will further expose the delegates to the practical calculation procedures for fault currents and relay settings.
Workshop Outline:
- Need for Protection

Speakers
Professor Jerry Walker
Managing Director of KEI CONSULTING (PTY) LTD; and Director of WALMET CONSULTANCY (PTY) LTD
After completing his National Higher Diploma in Engineering (Electrical) in 1986 and spending almost 23 years in industry, Prof Walker joined Vaal Triangle Technikon – now known as Vaal University of Technology (VUT) as a lecturer in the Dept. of Power Engineering. In 1996 he completed his BTech degree and in 1997 started with post graduate studies, specialising in diagnostic testing of XLPE-insulated cables. In 2004 Prof Walker completed his DTech degree at VUT. Title of his Doctoral thesis: “Diagnostic Evaluation of Water Tree Aged XLPE-Insulated Cables”. In 2005 he was appointed as Associate Professor at VUT and then as Head, Institute for High Voltage Studies. He retired from VUT in 2006.
