INTRODUCTION
Electrical equipment is an expensive investment for the electrical industry. The equipment needs to be operated safely to achieve a maximum return on the initial investment.
This requires the equipment to be:
- Maintained in a safe manner
- Operated within an effective management system
This GLOMACS Cost Effective Strategies for the Maintenance of Electrical Power Systems training seminar focuses mainly on maintaining electrical equipment for a cost effective solution.
Objectives
This GLOMACS Cost Effective Strategies for the Maintenance of Electrical Power Systems training seminar is designed to increase the troubleshooting and fault finding diagnostic skills of engineering teams of a modern power system.
Training Methodology
The goals of each participant are discussed to ensure their needs are fulfilled, as far as possible. 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:
- An understanding for the need for routine inspection and maintenance
- Troubleshooting techniques on various pieces of electrical equipment
- Safe working practices being stressed and observed
- Risk reduction methods investigated
Personal Impact
