Power Cable Courses

KEMA Academy's completely revised series of cable-related training courses

Underground power cables are becoming more and more important for a number of reasons. Firstly, they are being used more widely due to increased electricity consumption, the fact that overhead lines are being replaced by underground cables, and the trend towards offshore wind power generation. Secondly, underground power cables are being developed for higher electric stresses and higher currents. This creates considerable challenges. Thirdly, there is a tendency to push existing underground power cables to their limits, which is associated with a range of issues. And all this is happening at a time when society increasingly depends on a reliable and efficient energy supply.

Reasons enough to learn more about underground power cables!

To meet growing demand for training we developed a series of power cable-related courses, which have been run very successfully for many years. However, these courses have been completely revised for 2012. We now offer a general three-day course with a complete overview of all (basic) principles and practice of using underground power cables:
>Power cables in general
plus four in-depth supplementary two-day courses:
>Ageing, quality assurance, testing, diagnostics and failures of power cables
>Ampacity and engineering aspects of power cables
>Asset management, maintenance and remaining life of medium voltage cables
>Asset management, maintenance and remaining life of high and extra high voltage cables

The courses include new material and entirely new subjects. So, for former participants: this is the time to both refresh and renew your knowledge!

You will be able to put your questions to reputed power cable experts, exchange experiences and practical examples with fellow participants and you will have the opportunity to visit the KEMA High Power and High Voltage Laboratories.

The courses are taught annually in both English and Dutch and are accompanied by a full textbook. In addition to open registration, we also provide customized training and can organize in-company courses anywhere in the world at your preferred location.
