This course provides practical information that has been collected from a number of different GIS projects. The GIS equipment installation is demanding and asks for a detailed plan and sequence of works. With great amount of involved parts in the assembly, a proper sequence plan is a basic requirement to allow an efficient work flow and a high quality installation. Course also discusses safety standards and useful assembly tips. This course is suitable for electrical engineers with a desire to understand the fundamentals of GIS installation. Presented details cover issues related to planning procedure, assembly techniques and considerations, document control, health and safety plans, GIS equipment tests, earthing principles and connection to transmission network. Upon successful completion electrical engineers will be able to address GIS installation procedures, frequently used processes and how to set up technical installation program.
