Duration : 5 Days
Overview:
This course begins with the fundamental principles that always apply to ensure safety. This Electrical Engineering training course then progresses through basic design procedures, inspection, testing and maintenance requirements, concluding with a review of power quality problems that affect the reliability of an installation where high technology interfaces with a supply.
Course Objectives:
The participant on this course will gain detailed knowledge of:
The safety factors required by national and international standards
The functional considerations that a designer has to take into account
How new technology can impact on the design particularly power quality
Safety requirements during installation, inspection and testing
Inspection and testing techniques that affect the maintenance requirements
How to improve productivity by improving the reliability of an installation
Course Content:
1- Preliminary Design Requirements
The design process requires consideration of the installation requirements with respect to the load characteristics, the circuit arrangements, and the source of supply.
Building Services
Purpose of an Installation
Cables
External Influences
Transformers
Compatibility
Protective Devices
Maintainability
2- Design Characteristics
To enable work to begin on any electrical installation a detailed specification is required. This specification will be based on the safety and functional requirements considered in Day 1.
Electrical Safety
Cable Installation
IEC 60364
Cable Terminations Hot and Cold Shrinks
Wiring Regulations
Inspection and Testing
Cable Sizing
Documentation
3- Designing an Installation
Building on the first two days of the training course this module puts into practice the theories developed.
Single Phase Design
Power Quality
Three Phase Design
Cable Requirements
Protective Device Selection
Installation Method
Earthing and Bonding
Source of Supply
4- Commissioning and Testing
The requirements for any maintenance routine begin during the design process and continue though installation into operation. In many countries there is also a legal requirement to maintain an installation in a safe condition.
The Need to Maintain
Test Results
What is Maintenance?
Documentation
Introduction to Commissioning
Harmonics
