Introduction

This Troubleshooting and Maintenance of Electrical Equipment training seminar focuses mainly on trouble shooting and maintenance of electrical equipment.

Electrical equipment plays an important role in the safe transmission and distribution of electrical power. The equipment needs to be operated in a safe manner securing continuity of supply to consumers.

This requires the equipment to be:

• Operated, and maintained in a safe manner
• Controlled and within an effective management system
• Aware of the need of maintenance and troubleshooting techniques balanced against equipment downtime

Objective

At the end of this training course, you will learn to:

• Elaborate on a variety of Electrical Faults
• Discuss Electrical Fault-finding Procedures
• Examine Maintenance and Condition Monitoring
• Describe the Function of a Transformer
• Describe the Need for an Efficient Earthing System
• Interpret Cabling Systems and Fault-finding Techniques

Audience

This training Programme is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Electrical Professionals
• Electrical Engineers
• Electrical Supervisors
• Technicians
• Professionals responsible for the operation, maintenance and fault finding techniques
• Personnel who have a work scope which includes limited Electrical maintenance

MAESTRO CONSULTANTS Certificate of Completion for delegates who attend and complete the training course

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
