Objectives

• On successful completion of this Course , participants will have:

• • A better understanding of commissioning procedures
  • A better understanding of troubleshooting procedures
  • An improved capability in the use of test equipment
  • A better understanding of failure modes and failure analysis
  • A refreshed awareness of electrical safety concerns

The Delegates

• Electrical Engineers
• Electrical Supervisors
• All Electrical Professionals commissioning, testing, start-up, troubleshooting, maintenance and repair of ‘Electrical Equipment’ and ‘Control Systems’. Because the methods and examples are generic, personnel from all industries will benefit. Participants need no specific requirements other than good understanding of electricity and some relevant experience.
