Distribution NetworksLaajuus (5 cr)

Objectives

The student is able to
- describe the structure, components and special features of typical distribution networks
- dimension and select the components for a low voltage network as well as plan overload protection and contact voltage protection
- plan the overload protection and leakage protection for a detached and turned off radial medium voltage network
