The deterioration of electrical equipment is normal, and this process begins as soon as the equipment is installed. If deterioration is not checked, it can cause electrical failures and malfunctions
In addition, load changes or circuit alterations may be made without overall design coordination, which can result in improper selection of equipment, or settings of protective devices, or wrong trip devices installed in the circuits.
A well-organized and implemented electrical inspection and testing program minimizes accidents, reduces unplanned shutdowns, and lengthens the mean time between failures (MTBF) of electrical equipment.
This course is designed to provide delegates with proper techniques for the inspection and testing of various electrical equipment and systems. It covers the inspection and testing of cables, transformers, switchgears, circuit breakers, motors and generators. Further, the course discusses the importance of electrical safety including practices and precautions and the electrical power system grounding.
