Course Synopsis:
Even with the increased demand for supply, it is a reality that service standards must
increase while the price must drop. The reliability and quality of energy supply are becoming a
determining factor of success of any energy supply utility. Development in computer technology,
introduction of power electronics and the ongoing development of high-temperature superconductors
created new opportunity for advancement in switchgear technology that would give competitive edge to
those who understand how to use it.
