COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises where participants carryout cable design and testing. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using the latest heat-shrink jointing and termination methods suitable for in-class training.

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview on Wire and Cable Systems – Design, Testing and Fault Diagnosis. It covers the wire and cable systems, electrical properties of cables and mechanical properties of cables; the cable materials and construction, cable standards and specifications and cable sizing and selection basics; the cable design process, voltage and current rating design, cable routing and layout design and specialty cables design; the environmental and installation conditions in design and cable terminations and joint design; and the pre-installation testing, high voltage testing, routine maintenance testing and cable fault location. During this interactive course, participants will learn the testing of joints and terminations and documentation and reporting of test results; the common cable fault types and causes covering mechanical damage, insulation degradation, water ingress and thermal overloading; the fault location techniques, on-site troubleshooting procedures and interpreting test results for fault diagnosis; the preventive measures to avoid cable failures, modern cable monitoring and diagnostic systems and design for reliability and longevity; and the earthing and shielding design for cables, fire safety and cable management and quality assurance in cable projects.
