The course is composed of 15 modules. These cover the following seven main threads to provide you with maximum practical coverage in the field of electrical engineering

• Electrical technology fundamentals
• Distribution equipment and protection
• Rotating machinery and transformers
• Power electronics
• Energy efficiency
• Earthing and safety regulations
• Operation and maintenance of electrical equipment

After the successful completion of the course, the participants will be able to:

• Understand the functions of various types of equipment and major components used in electrical power systems
• Understand the different effects (thermal, mechanical, electrical) caused by short-circuit faults and over-voltage transients
• Calculate the steady-state thermal ratings of power cables and overhead lines
• Calculate the electric stress and explain the dielectric design of high-voltage components
• Apply appropriate electrical/physical/chemical measurements for insulation assessment

This course is suitable to a wide range of technical professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Electricians
• Electrical supervisors
• Plant electricians
• Operations & maintenance engineers, supervisors & technicians
• Maintenance technicians
