Leading Switchgear Maintenance Teams
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers substation operation and circuit breaker operation from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because ageing plant is being asked to carry loads it was never specified for, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with lockout and tagout, protection relays and variable speed drives in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review lockout and tagout and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the SANS wiring code
- Explain protection relays to someone who does not do the work
- Spot where variable speed drives is failing before it becomes a finding
- Make a decision about arc flash assessment without waiting for a specialist
