Electrical Engineering, Compliance,
Standards and System Fundamentals

Electrical Engineering is key to everything in the 21^st century. It powers everything from large industrial processes, all the way through to a simple cell phone charger. In order for these modern processes to work correctly, these processes require competent personnel to build, maintain, repair, replace and fault-find on a range of basic and complex systems.

The Electrical Engineering, Compliance, standards and system fundamentals course has been developed to allow a range of personnel who wish to learn new skills within electrical engineering and for existing personnel to develop new skills. The course has been developed to allow personnel to develop a range of skills from basic power distribution, through to fault-finding on an Electric motor and PLC systems and to understand the associated regional and international standards for these systems.

This Electrical Engineering, Compliance, Standards and System Fundamentals training course will highlight:

• The requirements to comply with legislation, Health & safety requirements, the Electricity at work regulations and Integrated safe systems of work
• Develop skills which are relevant to modern electrical engineering practices
• Minimum standards and best practice requirements
• Basic principles of Ohm’s law
• Electrical distribution techniques and practices
• Circuit protection techniques and selection of circuit protection
• Applications of motor circuits and MCC panels
• Fault-finding techniques

By the end of this Electrical Engineering, Compliance, Standards and System Fundamentals training course, participants will be able to:

• Discuss the basic principles of ohm’s law and a variety of electrical calculations
• Elaborate on the dangers of Electricity
• Demonstrate methods of basic and fault protection methods
• Identify permit systems, integrated safe systems of work and safe isolation procedures
• Identify a variety of power supplies
• Use a variety of electrical test equipment
• Identify Electrical Earthing systems
• Select and apply a variety of circuit protection systems and devices
• Elaborate on electrical connections and switching devices
• Discuss applications of several different types of Electrical Motors
• Develop skills to enable the use of Electrical drawings and diagrams

This Electrical Engineering, Compliance, Standards and System Fundamentals training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Electrical and Instrument Technicians.
• Electrical and Instrument Engineers.
• Personnel whose work involves construction of equipment and systems
• Supervisors
• Design Engineers (for understanding of Installation and Maintenance techniques)
• Mechanical Maintenance Technicians
• Mechanical Maintenance Engineers
• Staff who work in a limited capacity with Electrical systems
• Non electrical personnel

A variety of technical lectures, practical demonstrations and practical exercises will be used to deliver the training to candidates. Case studies and examples of good and bad practice will also be demonstrated through practical demonstration and case study DVD. An end of course practical and Written Assessment will also be completed by all candidates.
