Advanced Power Factor Correction

Electrical and Power Engineering|5 days|Classroom or live online

This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into substation operation, load flow analysis and the judgement calls that sit outside the SANS wiring code. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because maintenance teams are increasingly expected to diagnose equipment they did not commission. Delegates leave able to work confidently with electrical fault analysis, switchgear maintenance and transformer maintenance in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

  • Explain electrical fault analysis to someone who does not do the work, measured against the SANS wiring code
  • Make a decision about switchgear maintenance without waiting for a specialist
  • Put transformer maintenance on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
  • Bring circuit breaker operation into line with current good practice
