COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

As the theory behind all UPS systems is the same, the course will discuss the UPS system in general regardless of the UPS brand, bearing in mind the tremendous number of UPS manufacturers nowadays. Hence, whatever the brand or manufacturer of your UPS system this course is the right course for you. 

 

The course will cover everything the user and maintainer need to know about UPS and batteries. It enumerates the types and duration of power system disturbances and learn the basic concepts of an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) including the three general types of UPS’s and the three types of static UPS’s and discuss the electronic components of a UPS system as well as the proper testing and troubleshooting of these power components including the functions of single phase rectifiers & inverters, three phase rectifiers & inverters including the testing and troubleshooting of these single/three phase rectifiers and inverters. 

 

This course is designed to provide delegates with detailed explanation of the theory of operation and circuit board operation of single phase systems and review the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) and Constant Voltage Transformer (CVT) theories related to the general theory of operation of three phase systems including its circuit functions and operation & Printed Circuit Board (PCB) operation. 

 

The concepts of primary and secondary batteries, lead acid batteries and nickel cadmium batteries including the safety and maintenance, testing and troubleshooting of faulty batteries including UPS alignment and maintenance by noting manufacturer’s recommendations, making use of appropriate tools and equipment, electrical safety, mechanical requirements of component replacement for UPS systems and the major brands of UPS such as GUTOR, ABB etc will also be discussed during the course.
