Electrical Earthling System Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
This course has been designed to provide participants with an understanding of the principles of grounding and how grounding systems operate. Participants will also gain an understanding of how these systems are installed, tested, and maintained. Upon completion of this course, attendees should have a better understanding of the principles related to grounding systems within the oil and gas industry. Having this knowledge will help each technician develop confidence and professional enthusiasm, therefore, increasing their efficiency. The knowledge that technicians gained from this course will be further expanded by on-job training and practical experience they will receive throughout the duration of their careers.
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for electrical technicians, maintenance planners, and supervisors with operation and maintenance responsibilities in an industrial plant.
