An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Electrical Distribution Equipment Operation & Maintenance
Ensuring Secured and Safe Operations of Electrical Equipment
Course Overview
This GLOMACS Electrical Distribution Equipment Operation and Maintenance training seminar will take a closer look at the equipment installed in and electrical installation. Safety, security and reliability are the main attributes of all electrical equipment installed. It has to be well designed, installed and commissioned. A well-planned maintenance regime is essential to ensure safe operations and trouble-free electrical operations.
Competent workforce and sophisticated testing, measuring and diagnostic instruments are important to avoid system downtime. Distribution equipment plays an important role in the safe distribution of electrical power. Arc flash hazards analysis is vital to ensure that the equipment needs to be operated in a safe manner securing continuity of supply to consumers.
This GLOMACS training course focuses mainly on the operation and maintenance of distribution equipment like transformers, circuit breakers, protection relays and cables concerning auxiliary equipment necessary for its operation. This also includes new technologies incorporated in the transformers and circuit breakers.
This GLOMACS training seminar will highlight:
- The importance and significance of maintenance
- Understand the functions and purposes of choosing the correct test instruments
- The severity of arc flashes and mitigation methods
- Safe operations of circuit breakers and transformers
- Principles of the electrical protection system
