Troubleshooting & Maintenance of Electrical Equipment Fault Finding Techniques on an Electrical Power System

Introduction

Electrical equipment within an Electrical Power system plays an important role in the transmission and distribution of electrical power. The equipment needs to be operated and maintained in a safe manner securing continuity of supply to consumers.

  • This requires the equipment to be:
  • Assessed to ensure it remains in a safe manner
  • Maintained within an effective management system
  • Aware of the need for maintenance and fault finding techniques balanced against equipment downtime

The course focuses mainly on troubleshooting, maintenance, and fault finding on electrical equipment and systems.

Objectives

    By completing this training course, participants will be able to:

    • Understand the need for a routine inspection, adequate maintenance of equipment, and accurate record-keeping
    • Know the safe methods of maintenance management
    • Learn the effective maintenance activities for the best utilization of time and resources
    • Familiarize with the electrical equipment and systems maintenance requirements
    • Understand the requirements for a logical process in fault finding and troubleshooting
    • Have an understanding of the need for routine maintenance and a logical approach to fault finding techniques
    • Gain knowledge on maintenance techniques on pieces of electrical power equipment/systems
    • Learn safe working practices
    • Have full knowledge in troubleshooting techniques, discussed and investigated

    This course is designed to increase the awareness of the required diagnostic skills of Engineers and Maintenance Teams on Modern Power Systems. The course will revolve around maintenance, troubleshooting, and fault finding techniques used in today’s modern systems.

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 course is intended for all Electrical Professionals, Electrical Engineers, Electrical Supervisors, Technicians, and those professionals responsible for the operation, maintenance, and fault finding techniques.
