Course Overview
This course encompasses the operation of and testing for the successful operation of electrical equipment like motors, variable-speed drives, transformers and so on.
The main reason behind commissioning and testing electric systems is to increase the strength, reliability and consistency of electrical power systems after the connection, by identifying any issues and providing a set of reference values for comparison with consequently scheduled tests.
Several types of testing, measuring and evaluating instruments are used to ensure that the electrical equipment is accurately functional. Fundamental aspects of electric equipment such as design, operating features, specifications, selection conditions, advanced fault detection methods, critical components as well as all maintenance issues are covered in detail.
What will the ‘Electrical Equipment Control & Monitoring System: Testing, Commissioning, Inspection, Preventive Maintenance and Repair’ program focus on? This course will cover the following areas:
- Reasons for re-commissioning Tests
- Commissioning Planning, Process and Procedures
- Testing Procedures
- Commissioning / Maintenance Tests
- Start-up or First Energisation
- Safety Aspect of Commissioning
This Zoe training course will provide you with a complete insight into the different types of generators, uninterruptable power systems (UPS), rectifiers, and inverters, circuit breakers, and fuses.
Course Objectives
Upon completing this course successfully, participants will be able to:
- Identify, select, install, operate, test, troubleshoot and sustain various types of electrical equipment
- Understand the testing process
- Perform investigative testing and inspection of critical components and identify common points of failure for electrical equipment
- Plan and prepare for testing
- Perform on load and offloads tests
- Employ calculated selection criteria for commissioning prerequisites, prognostic and pre-emptive maintenance, and cost estimation for electrical equipment
- Bear in mind safety aspects during testing
- Execute maintenance techniques required to minimise operating cost and maximise the productivity, reliability and durability of electrical equipment
Training Methodology
This is an interactive training program and will consist of the following training approaches:
