Electrical Inspection and Testing Workshop

Introduction

To successfully inspect and test electrical equipment, Electrical personnel must first fully understand the technology of the equipment. After the successful start-up and subsequent continued operation, electrical equipment requires periodic inspection and testing. This will ensure the electrical equipment operates correctly so that production is maximized in a safe, cost-effective, and efficient manner. Delegates are encouraged to raise queries both during and at any time after attending the workshop and are also asked to bring with them any technical issues that they may have

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 a fashion that ensures reduced costs.

    On successful completion of this workshop, participants will have:

    • A better understanding of inspection and testing methods
    • A better understanding of troubleshooting procedures
    • An improved capability in the use of test equipment
    • A refreshed outlook on reading electrical drawings
    • A refreshed awareness of electrical safety concerns

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is intended for Electrical Engineers, Electrical Supervisors and Electrical Technicians engaged in the 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.
