An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Fault Finding Techniques on an Electrical Power System
Course Overview
This GLOMACS Electrical Engineering training seminar focuses mainly on coordinating the troubleshooting activity of an electrical system after fault with emphasis on testing and maintenance of electrical equipment.
Electrical equipment within an Electrical Power system plays an important role in the transmission and distribution of electrical power. The equipment needs to be operated and maintained in a safe manner securing continuity of supply to consumers.
This requires the equipment to be:
- Assessed to ensure it remains operational and in a safe manner
- Maintained within an effective management system
- In need of the most efficient systematic approach to troubleshooting with fault finding techniques balanced against equipment downtime
Training Objectives
This GLOMACS Fault Finding Techniques on an Electrical Power System training seminar is designed to increase the fault diagnostic skills of engineers and maintenance teams on modern Power systems. The training seminar will progressively advance to identification of faults and the ratification of said faults.
Who should Attend?
- Electrical Professionals
- Electrical Engineers
- Electrical Supervisors
- Technicians
- Professionals responsible for the operation, maintenance and fault finding techniques
