Circuit Breaker Operation for Managers
Electrical and Power Engineering|3 days|Classroom or live online
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers earthing and bonding and cable fault location from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because electrical incidents are among the few workplace risks that are immediately fatal, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with circuit breaker operation, power factor correction and variable speed drives in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where circuit breaker operation is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against the Occupational Health and Safety Act
- Make a decision about power factor correction without waiting for a specialist
- Improve variable speed drives within their own organisation
- Put electrical safety procedure on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
