  • The different types of relays such as directional power relays, overcurrent relays, distance relays, plain impedance relays, directional impedance relays, modified impedance-type distance relays, reactance-type distance relays, Mho or admittance distance relays, and more.

  • The principle of operation and selection of low-voltage circuit breakers

  • The principle of operation of earth leakage circuit breaker or residual current CB

  • The selection of medium voltage circuit breakers

  • The types of low voltage and high voltage fuses

In addition to the LogixPro course:

This is the only course out there that can teach you the basics of PLC programming with fun and awesome simulations.

Logixpro program is an interesting and useful simulator for the simulation of different procedures such as moving belts, garage openings, and closing, a mixer that consists of a tank in addition to some pipes of different liquids, and many more!

This program helps learn ladder programming and PLC with an easy and interactive simulation method.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
