Course: Electrical Installations & Maintenance: Design, Inspection_Testing, Maintenance and Resilience

Programme Outline

The Scandinavian Academy for Training Center adopts the latest scientific and professional methodologies in training and human resource development, aiming to enhance the efficiency of individuals and organizations. Training programs are delivered through a comprehensive approach that includes:

• Theoretical lectures supported by PowerPoint presentations and visual materials (videos and short films).
• Scientific evaluation of participants before and after the program to measure progress and knowledge acquisition.
• Brainstorming sessions and practical role-playing to simulate real-life scenarios.
• Case studies tailored to align with the training content and participants work nature.
• Assessment tests conducted at the end of the program to evaluate the achievement of training objectives.

Each participant receives the training material (both theoretical and practical) in printed form and saved on a CD or flash drive. Detailed reports, including attendance records, final results, and overall program evaluations, are also provided.

Training materials are prepared professionally by a team of experts and specialists in various fields. At the end of the program, participants are awarded a professional attendance certificate, signed and accredited by the Scandinavian Academy for Training Center.

Program Timings:

• 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM 

The program includes:

• A daily buffet provided during the sessions to ensure participants comfort.
• A closing ceremony on the final day to distribute certificates and celebrate participants achievements.

Introduction

The electrical designer, installer and maintenance team are all expected to provide an installation that is safe, cost effective and reliable throughout its lifetime.

The course begins with the fundamental principles that always apply to ensure safety, the course then progresses through basic design procedures, inspection, testing and maintenance requirements, concluding with a review of power quality problems that affect the reliability of an installation where high technology interfaces with a supply.

The seminar will provide an understanding of:

• The initial assessment of an installation prior to the design
• Selection of protective devices
• Cable sizing and installation
• Inspection and testing procedures
• The maintenance requirements

Seminar Objectives

The delegate will gain detailed appreciation of:

• The safety factors required by national and international standards
• The functional considerations that a designer has to take into account
• How new technology can impact on the design particularly power quality
• Safety requirements during installation, inspection and testing
• Inspection and testing techniques that affect the maintenance requirements
• How to improve productivity by improving the reliability of an installation

Training Methodology

The seminar is conducted as modular lectures with encouragement for the delegate to interact. Case studies are included to illustrate how problems can develop as technology changes.

A design project is included to enable the delegate to practice the techniques of calculating the parameters of loads, protective devices and cable sizing for safety and functional purposes. A calculator will be required for this phase of the course.

Questions are welcomed throughout the course and during break sessions.

Organisational Impact

• The additional knowledge will help in the design of new electrical installations
• This knowledge will help in upgrading an existing installation when new technology is to be added
• The course will help an organisation to improve its effectiveness in ensuring compliance with standards
• Knowledge of the impact of new technology will help in ensuring reliability of an installation
• Knowledge of the design implications to withstand failures due to power quality
• How inspection, testing and maintenance improve the resilience of an installation

Personal Impact

On successful completion of this course, delegates will understand:

• The basis for safety and functional design
• How to assess the characteristics needed to commence a design process
• The earthing and bonding requirements of an installation for safety and function
• How new technology impacts on new and existing electrical installations
• Inspection and testing techniques that affect the maintenance routine of an installation
• How to improve productivity by improving power quality

Who Should Attend?

This course is aimed at personnel who would like to expand their knowledge of the safety and functional design of an electrical installation and is aimed at:

• Mechanical and Electrical engineers
• Mechanical and Electrical technicians
• Electricians and Electrical Supervisors
• Maintenance personnel with responsibility for an electrical installation
