Troubleshooting and Maintenance of Electrical Equipment

An Interactive 5-Day Training Course

Troubleshooting and Maintenance of
Electrical Equipment

Course Description

Introduction

This GLOMACS 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

Objectives

This GLOMACS Troubleshooting and Maintenance of Electrical Equipment training course is designed to increase the awareness of the required diagnostic skills of engineers and maintenance teams on Modern Power systems. This GLOMACS training course will revolve around maintenance, troubleshooting and fault finding techniques used in today's modern systems.

At the end of this GLOMACS 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

Training Methodology

In this GLOMACS Electrical Engineering training seminar, goals of each participant are discussed to ensure their needs are fulfilled, as far as possible. Formal delivery, group work, short videos and case studies are used throughout the week. Questions are encouraged throughout, particularly at the daily wrap-up sessions. This provides opportunities for participants to discuss specific issues and, if possible, find appropriate solutions. General discussions are employed to highlight particular points and to illustrate particular conditions.

Organisational Impact

This GLOMACs training seminar will allow delegates to interact and gain shared experiences of others along with:

  • Understand the legal requirements for Electrical maintenance
  • An understanding for the need for routine maintenance and a logical approach to fault finding techniques
  • Develop new skills when implementing maintenance techniques
  • Analyse current competence in Maintenance and Fault-finding and yourself to fill ‘gaps’ of current knowledge
  • Develop skills and knowledge to implement condition based maintenance and non-invasive maintenance, which will assist in reducing down-time and shut-down of equipment

Personal Impact

On successful completion of this GLOMACS training programme, delegates will be able to understand:

  • The need for routine inspection, adequate maintenance of equipment and accurate record keeping
  • Safe methods of maintenance management
  • The effective maintenance activities for best utilisation of time and resources
  • Electrical equipment and systems maintenance requirements
  • The requirements for a logical process in fault finding and troubleshooting

Who should Attend?

This GLOMACS 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
