Course Summary
The field of electrical engineering encompasses a vast amount of skills and knowledge. With the variety of electrical, electronic, communication, and computer systems, there is a high demand for electricians trained in specific areas.
For electricians to progress in their careers, it is crucial that they are competent in advanced electrical engineering methods. This ranges from research, development, operation, and maintenance of different power systems to creating their designs, which need to account for many internal and external factors such as grid networks, distribution systems, and transmission methods.
Not only does the electrician need to be capable of establishing a system, but they must also maintain and ensure its safety. Detailed risk assessments need to be conducted to account for any and all possibilities of faults. As a further preventative measure, safety devices must be adequately installed throughout the system to catch faults or power trips.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Create single line, layout, and schematics diagrams.
- Analyse and interpret the response of power systems in a variety of scenarios.
- Model a power system aligned with system parameters.
- Assess and modify a power system’s behaviours and enhance system parameters.
- Determine the location of the busbar configuration of a typical substation.
- Identify ideal specifications for major substation equipment.
- Assess risks and calculate fault levels and loadings of feeders and branches.
- Analyse protection logistics and coordination between protection devices.
- Understand the importance of load, fault, and feasibility studies.
This course is designed for established engineers looking to develop their knowledge and skill set further. It would be most beneficial for:
- Senior Engineers
- Principal Engineers
- Project Engineers
- Electrical Project Managers
- Directors of Technology
- Electrical Sub-Contractors
- Chief Engineer Officers (CEOs)
- System Operators
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will partake in a range of practical activities to ensure they gain a thorough understanding of the skills and methods taught.
They will be provided with the highest-quality equipment to conduct learning exercises. In addition to the information taught through presentations, video materials, and discussions, participants will have ample opportunities to combine knowledge with practical capabilities and demonstrate their skills. Furthermore, they will be able to use new methods to create electrical designs related to their respective roles.
