Course Overview

There is a substantial requirement for electrical energy around the world. Several countries, including India, are adopting UHV (ultra-high voltage) AC and DC transmission. The main objective of the Recent Advances in Transmission Insulators online course by Swayam is to understand the significance of basic principles of insulation design.

Recent Advances in Transmission Insulators programme will also discuss different kinds of insulators and recent developments in insulator technology up to UHV levels. During this course, you will also know about vital components in a transmission system such as conductors, earth wire, accessories, insulators, towers, foundations, and hardware fittings.

The Recent Advances in Transmission Insulators certification course will provide you with knowledge on major challenges faced by utilities in the design of overhead transmission insulators for UHV-DC/AC, especially in contaminated circumstances. You will learn through practical examples, 11 hours of video content, and assignment exercises. The course also provides an e-certificate on the fulfillment of some eligibility criteria.
