COURSE DESCRIPTION:

To successfully inspect and test electrical equipment, Electrical personnel must first
fully understand the technology of the electrical equipment. After the successful start-
up and subsequent continued operation, electrical equipment requires periodic
inspection and testing.
This will ensure the electrical equipment operates correctly so that production is
maximized in a safe, cost effective and efficient manner.
Delegates are encouraged to raise queries both during and at any time after attending
the course and are also asked to bring with them any technical issues that they may
have.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Participants attending this program will:

Return to their respective organizations equipped with new or refreshed skills to
ensure that electrical equipment is inspected, tested and operated in safe and a fashion

 that ensures reduced costs. On successful completion of this course, participants will
have:
• A better understanding of maintenance purposes and types.
• A better understanding of inspection and testing methods
• A better understanding of the updated electrical condition monitoring.
• A better understanding of troubleshooting procedures
• An improved capability in testing equipment
