Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Electrical Faults, Causes, Analysis, Detection & Remedies for Safe Operation, Maintenance of Electrical Switchgear. It covers the purpose and types of electrical switchgear; the components and configurations of switchgear systems and safety considerations in operating and maintaining switchgear; the common electrical faults encountered in switchgear; the causes and consequences of electrical faults; and the fault analysis techniques, visual inspection and condition assessment. Further, the course will also discuss the electrical testing methods, thermographic imaging, vibration analysis and online monitoring systems; the early fault detection, switchgear monitoring systems, protective relay systems, circuit breakers, fault detection and alarm systems and remote monitoring options; the safety protocols for working with electrical switchgear; and the lockout/tagout procedures and personnel safety; and the regular maintenance and inspections, lubrication, cleaning, tightening of switchgear components, record-keeping and documentation.During this interactive course, participants will learn the fault isolation and identification techniques; repairing and replacing faulty components, restoring electrical insulation, ARC flash mitigation strategies and effective grounding and earthing techniques; the pre-commissioning checks and inspections, functional testing of switchgear components and testing and calibrating protective relays; the control interlocking systems; the commissioning documentation and procedures; the emergency response procedures for electrical faults; identifying critical faults requiring immediate action and troubleshooting techniques for fault localization; the rapid repairing and recovering strategies; and the post-fault analysis and investigation. link to course overview PDF
