According to Sylvain Cocheteux, Energy Channel & Partner Communication Manager, “acquiring new knowledge about our industry or diverse sectors provides a broader perspective at a time when the speed and scope of change have never been greater.”
In keeping with the company's values, Schneider Electric has created tools to facilitate free access to quality training, such as Energy University, and with the launch of the new Medium Voltage technical guide, aims to become a key resource for anyone wanting to learn about the subject, including electrical engineers, switchgear manufacturers, and students.
This guide complements the online courses offered by Energy University, created in 2012 based on the “Data Center University” program of the group's IT subsidiary, launched in 2006. Energy University has over 400,000 users in more than 180 countries and offers over 350 courses developed by our leading global experts. “We have leveraged the successful experience gained from Energy University to build this guide on the same foundation,” explains Cocheteux.
Among the concepts covered in the guide is an explanation of what medium-voltage networks are, including fundamental notions such as the physical principles applied to MV networks, the different units of measurement used, and applicable standards. It also presents practical details on the various equipment and designs of a medium-voltage switchboard or substation, such as circuit breakers and transformers.
