Electrical Distribution Equipment Operation & Maintenance
Engineering,Maintenance , Corrosion & Inspection
Course Description
INTRODUCTION
This Electrical
Distribution Equipment Operation and Maintenance training seminar will take a
closer look at the equipment installed in and electrical installation. Safety,
security and reliability are the main attributes of all electrical equipment
installed. It has to be well designed, installed and commissioned. A
well-planned maintenance regime is essential to ensure safe operations and
trouble-free electrical operations.
Competent workforce and sophisticated testing, measuring and
diagnostic instruments are important to avoid system downtime. Distribution
equipment plays an important role in the safe distribution of electrical power.
Arc flash hazards analysis is vital to ensure that the equipment needs to be
operated in a safe manner securing continuity of supply to consumers.
