In order to effectively inspect and test electrical equipment, it is crucial for electrical personnel to have a comprehensive understanding of the technology behind the equipment. Once electrical equipment has been successfully started up and is in continued operation, regular inspection and testing are necessary. This ensures that the equipment functions correctly, allowing for maximum production efficiency in a safe and cost-effective manner.

Throughout the course, delegates are encouraged to raise any questions they may have, both during the sessions and even after the course has ended. They are also invited to bring along any technical issues they may be facing, allowing for further discussion and resolution. This interactive approach promotes active participation and facilitates addressing specific concerns or challenges faced by the delegates.

Course Objectives:

Participants attending this program will:

Return to their respective organizations equipped with new or refreshed skills to ensure that electrical equipment is inspected, tested, and operated in safe and a fashion that ensures reduced costs. On successful completion of this course, participants will have:

A better understanding of maintenance purposes and types.
A better understanding of inspection and testing methods
Understand the principles of risk assessment and be able to apply these to the formulation of an appropriate policy for the maintenance of electrical equipment.
Know the types of construction of electrical equipment for preventing electric shock and the hazards that can arise from defective equipment
A better understanding of the updated electrical condition monitoring.

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for Electrical Engineers, Electrical Supervisors, and Electrical Technicians engaged in the maintenance, inspection, and testing of Electrical Equipment. Because the methods and examples are generic, personnel from all industries will benefit. Participants require a good understanding of electricity and magnetism and possess some relevant experience.
