Project Description
Why attend
This course is created to provide a complete understanding of the various types of switch gears, transformers, capacitors relays, capacitors, surge arresters, cables & meters, uninterruptable power systems (UPS), circuit breakers, and fuses. Once successfully completed, delegates will be able to identify, select, commission and maintain these equipment for their applications. Additionally, delegates will have sufficient information to achieve reduced capital, operating and maintenance costs along with increased efficiency.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Receive a thorough knowledge on installation, operation, testing, optimization, maintenance and troubleshooting of electric distribution system equipment.
Describe standards and regulations as well as electric power and the dielectric principle.
Examine low and medium voltage cable and buses and discuss a general overview of MV and LV equipment.
Define MV and LV switchgears and circuit breakers and review power and instrument transformers
Evaluate surge arrestors, capacitors, meters and protective relays.
Implement electrical safety and apply electrical maintenance program.
Who should attend
This course is designed for those involved with the planning, implementation, and/or supervision of electrical preventive maintenance (EPM) programs for electric power equipment in industrial plants, process plants, oil/gas fields, refineries, petrochemical plants, utilities, and commercial facilities. Very interesting for those interested in learning how electrical power distribution equipment and systems operate, and how to maintain and trouble-shoot the equipment safely and effectively.
