Practical Electrical Fault Finding
Electrical and Power Engineering|3 days|Classroom or live online
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through power factor correction and variable speed drives 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 electrical fault analysis, motor control centres and standby generation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve electrical fault analysis within their own organisation, measured against recognised arc flash assessment practice
- Bring motor control centres into line with current good practice
- Make a decision about standby generation without waiting for a specialist
- Explain arc flash assessment to someone who does not do the work
