Electrical Equipment Installation Control Systems Commissioning- Testing Start Up of Electrical System Course
Course Overview:
This course gives a broad introduction to equipment such as motors, drives, transformers, generators, rectifiers, inverters, UPS, circuit breakers and fuses.
It provides participants with techniques of specifying, commissioning and maintaining the systems in focus so as to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
The course also integrates these processes with maintenance policy principles, condition monitoring, fault detection and tests of electrical equipment and preventive and corrective maintenance policy and procedures. Participants will examine earth systems, thermal behavior of cables, and advanced troubleshooting and diagnostics techniques.
This course is aimed at engineers, managers and technical staff but does not assume any prior knowledge of the electrical equipment and is, thus, suitable for a wide range of people.
Course Objectives:
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various types of motors, variable-speed drives, transformers, generators, rectifiers and inverters, uninterruptible power systems (UPS), circuit breakers, and fuses. Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to specify select, commission, and maintain this equipment for their applications. Further, participants will have enough knowledge to achieve reduced capital, operating, and maintenance costs along with an increasing inefficiency. During the duration of this course, participants will:-
- · Understand diagnostic testing and inspection, advanced fault detection techniques, critical components, and common failure modes.
- · Study selection criteria, commissioning requirements, predictive and preventive maintenance, reliability, testing, and cost.
- · Discover the maintenance required to minimize their operating cost and maximize their efficiency, reliability, and longevity
Who Should Attend?
Engineers of any discipline, managers, technicians, technologists, and other technical personnel. You don’t need to have any background in Electrical Equipment in order to attend this course.
