Advanced Variable Speed Drives
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into substation operation, variable speed drives 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 ageing plant is being asked to carry loads it was never specified for. Delegates leave able to work confidently with power factor correction, cable fault location and insulation testing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about power factor correction without waiting for a specialist, measured against the SANS wiring code
- Put cable fault location on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Bring insulation testing into line with current good practice
- Spot where transformer maintenance is failing before it becomes a finding
