Abstract

The authors present two practical undergraduate-level courses on power system protection: protective relaying, an introductory course which is offered at Drexel University, and overcurrent protection of industrial/commercial power systems, which is offered at Widener University. The first course is a hands-on introduction to the operating characteristics and protection requirements of time overcurrent, directional time overcurrent, and distance relays at the subtransmission level. The second course is an introduction to the analytical techniques and protection requirements for the selection and coordination of overcurrent protective devices for industrial and commercial power systems
