Variable Speed Drives: 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 transformer maintenance and switchgear maintenance 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 electrical fault analysis, standby generation and earthing and bonding in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of electrical fault analysis rather than escalating it, measured against IEC standards
- Put standby generation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Spot where earthing and bonding is failing before it becomes a finding
- Explain circuit breaker operation to someone who does not do the work
