SUMMARY:The Vanishing Fault – Why Did the Circuit Breaker Trip With No Recorded Fault?
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below: \nEmeritus Professor Akhtar Kalam’s Electrifying Mysteries\nThis webinar series provides a structured examination of real-world engineering challenges. Each session will address specific\, technically focused topics relevant to professional engineers. \nWebinar details\nFew engineering puzzles are as confounding as a tripped circuit breaker with no trace of fault current or event record. This session explores the enigma of “ghost faults” and unexplained protection operations in contemporary electrical systems. Through forensic analysis of system behaviour\, participants will explore transient disturbances\, CT saturation\, capacitive coupling\, and relay maloperations that may cause such phenomena. The webinar also highlights how digital protection systems can both obscure and illuminate the truth behind a vanishing fault. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nIdentify potential causes of unrecorded tripping events\, including transient phenomena and instrumentation errors.\nStrengthen the ability to interpret relay logs and waveform data to reconstruct fault events accurately.\nDevelop diagnostic strategies to verify\, validate\, and mitigate “phantom” fault scenarios.\nRecognise the importance of coordination between protection settings\, network modelling\, and operational procedures.\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Electrical Engineering and is particularly found in the following courses: \n\nOnline – Bachelor of Science (Electrical Engineering)\nUndergraduate Certificate in Electrical Engineering\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Electrical Power System Fundamentals for Non-Electrical Engineers \n52888WA Advanced Diploma of Applied Electrical Engineering (Power Industry)\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Smart Grids\n\nTo learn more about tuition fees\, please click here. \nAbout the presenter\n \nEmeritus Professor Akhtar Kalam \nBSc\, BScEng\, MS\, PhD\, FIET\, CEng\, FAIE\, FIEAust\, CPEng\, NER\, APEC Engineer\, IntPE(Aus)\, PEV\, MCIGRE\, Life Senior Member of IEEE. \nProfessor Akhtar Kalam is a supervisor of EIT’s Doctoral students.
