Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. This course utilizes lectures, student participation, videos, LCD slides, a workbook, and the International Electrical Testing Association (NETA) ?Maintenance Testing Specifications.? This course addresses the main elements of Electric Distribution Equipment Maintenance: safety; equipment and system principles and operation; inspection, test, evaluation, and maintenance procedures; and electrical maintenance programs. Discussion of electric safety procedures includes safety awareness, minimum approach distances, care and use of personal protective equipment, lockout-tagout, safety grounding, step and touch potentials, and special hazards of electric power distribution equipment. This course covers electrical safety training as required by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration ? USA) for qualified electrical workers.The types of equipment and systems presented include cables and buses, switchgear circuit breakers, liquid-filled and cast-coil/dry-type transformers, instrument transformers, meters and protective relays, surge arresters, and capacitors. Discussions include equipment operation and descriptions of the various inspection, testing, evaluation, and maintenance procedures available for the equipment and the test equipment and outage requirements for the various procedures. The course will include references to British (BS), European (IEC), and United States (ANSI, IEEE, NEC) engineering standards. Participants are encouraged to bring their system single-line diagrams and recent problems for discussion during and after class. Practical electrical inspection, test, evaluation, and maintenance training based on NETA Maintenance Testing Specifications and the course instructor?s 30 years experience in the electric power field will be presented.
