Practical Electrical Installation Standards
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through switchgear maintenance and substation operation on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: ageing plant is being asked to carry loads it was never specified for, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with variable speed drives, arc flash assessment and standby generation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of variable speed drives rather than escalating it, measured against the SANS wiring code
- Make a decision about arc flash assessment without waiting for a specialist
- Put standby generation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Spot where electrical safety procedure is failing before it becomes a finding
