Distribution Station & Feeder Protection Online Course

Course Overview

In a world of growing electrical infrastructure and ageing populations, the need to understand both technical systems and human-centred care is essential. This Distribution Station & Feeder Protection course uniquely aligns in-depth knowledge of power system protection with foundational Dementia Awareness, allowing learners to explore how professional fields intersect with social responsibility.

Covering the mechanisms that protect substations, feeders, and transformers from faults, this course delves into per-phase analysis, protection coordination problems, and surge protective equipment. Alongside this, learners will also gain critical insights into Dementia Awareness—from recognising symptoms and understanding cognitive decline, to addressing stigma, supporting communication, and fostering compassionate environments in any workplace.

Whether you're an engineer, technician, health and safety officer, or someone working in community support, this course provides you with the knowledge to protect both equipment and people—effectively and ethically. With global relevance, it bridges the gap between technological safety and social awareness, helping you contribute to both grid resilience and inclusive practices.
