Project Description
Why attend
This course introduces to a maintenance technician, to the basic types of circuit breakers and to their public terminology. It discusses circuit design, installation and maintenance with emphasis on avoiding early failures. Various plants may probably have up-to-date equipment of a limited variety and manufacture. It is these similarities that will be covered in the course.
Successfully completing this course, each participant will be capable to recognize typical causes of early circuit breakers and switch gears parts failure and outline precise maintenance practices to improve performance and prolong circuit part life. Skills and awareness to both maintain and improving equipment are presented and practiced in an easy practical way.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Examine, maintain, design, repair and troubleshoot circuit breakers and switchgears.
Implement an in-depth knowledge and skills on LV/MV/HV circuit breakers and switchgears.
Define the switchgear details such as ratings, degree of protection, service conditions and ancillary equipment.
Explain switchgear asset management including CBM & RCM process, tripping devices, maintenance & testing and identify the various switchgear diagnostic techniques.
Recognize & apply the different types of circuit breaker techniques and determine the switchgear vital equipment including batteries condition and monitoring.
Who should attend
This course provides an overview of all significant aspects and considerations of circuit breakers and switchgears in accordance with the international standards for those who are involved in the selection, operation, inspection, and maintenance troubleshooting of Low, Medium and High Voltage circuit breakers and switchgears. This includes electrical engineers and electricians as any other maintenance personnel.
