Electrical Fault Finding: Tools and Techniques

Electrical and Power Engineering|3 days|Classroom or live online

This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through cable fault location and protection relays on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: maintenance teams are increasingly expected to diagnose equipment they did not commission, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. 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

  • Take ownership of circuit breaker operation rather than escalating it, measured against recognised arc flash assessment practice
  • Put power factor correction on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
  • Spot where variable speed drives is failing before it becomes a finding
  • Improve switchgear maintenance within their own organisation
