This tailor-made certificate course on MV Substation Engineering is curated by the Subject Matter Experts and practitioners of L&T, and is structured pragmatically to help the learner understand the industry practices in carrying out the engineering for substations and selection of various substation equipment in accordance with Indian & International Standards. In addition, it covers the electrical safety rules, safe operating procedures and an overview of maintenance practices to give a holistic understanding of the subject.

This course opens up opportunities for the learners to become/excel as a Electrical Design Engineer, Construction and Planning Engineer. This course gives the learners insights about: 1. Cables, it's construction and Termination 2. Cable routing and Erection Key diagram 3. Earthing and Lightning Protection 4. Civil and Mechanical Aspects of substation design 5. Maintenance and Safety of substation

You will first learn about the construction details of the different types of cables. You will then be exposed to the various installation methods and cable laying methods and then understand the various cable parameters that are critical to the size selection. Finally, You will be taught about the final step of cable installation i.e., termination and its related accessories.
