Make your plans now to attend the Beckwith Electric 2009 Generator/Transformer Protection Seminar July 19 - 24, 2009.
We offer what many others don't. We provide Breakfast, and Lunch each day, and many opportunities for you to interact with our knowledgeable instructors, in a casual environment. Please view some of the comments from this year's seminar below.
 What
is it?
This intensive four-day seminar will provide the background
you need to understand the complex subjects of generator, transformer
and distributed generator (DG) interconnection protection. The courses are valuable even if you have a limited knowledge
of power system standards and practices.
Why
attend?
Learn how enhanced generator and transformer protection can
support the power system while maintaining integrity even longer - without
tripping - avoiding blackouts.
Learn more about the nuances and special protection requirements of the
IEEE 1547 standard regarding tie point protection as well as the interconnected
generator protection functions required for anti-islanding, faults and
abnormal operating conditions.
Who
should attend?
Utility engineers, consultants (especially those involved
with IPP/DG design), equipment/control engineers,
generator packager and manufacturer engineers as well as
others who specify protective relays and develop settings
for these devices.
Where
is it?
The Protection Seminar, daily breakfast and lunch,
Sunday reception, and the Tuesday night hospitality & hands-on lab
will be held in Clearwater Beach, Florida at the Hilton Clearwater Beach
Resort. The resort overlooks the picturesque Gulf of Mexico and sits on
10 beautiful acres of white sandy beach. There will be a Factory Tour
and Round Table Discussion scheduled for Friday, July 24, 2009 at the
Beckwith Electric Factory.
Seminar
Fee
$1,125 per person by Friday, May 30, 2009.
Includes all course materials, breakfast and lunch, morning and afternoon
breaks, Sunday evening welcome reception and Tuesday night hospitality
& hands-on lab. Enrollment is limited on a first-come, first-serve
basis.
