Electrical System Trouble Shooting Course

Course Overview:

This course covers MTR's, starters, transformers and AC generators in-situ maintenance, troubleshooting, testing and repair.

Furthermore the course interpreters basic electrical principles like Ohm’s law, circuit and power components analysis. Additionally, MTR's and transformer work principles and constructive motor control, generator size will be presented to participants. Ion is the final course to control circuit tachometers. 

Safety, proper use of electrical test instruments, and functionality diagnose are also focal points of the course. 

This aims to provide a better understanding of electrical equipment and trouble shooting methods in industry. It will provide theoretical aspects of maintenance alongside practical repair guidelines too.
