Training:

We offer two main courses: Electrical draughting (on-the-job-training) and basic electrical generation and protection.

We could either present our standard course (see details below) or put a course together that will address your specific requirements.

These courses are presented by a qualified electrical engineer that has more than 17 years experience in the electrical industry.

Electrical draughting course (code: EDC001/2)

Overview:

The aim of this course is to assist draughters in their day-to-day duties and to provide on-the-job training in order to improve their knowledge of electrical systems.
We believe that draughters will add more values to the business if they have a better understanding of the bigger picture.

This course could also provide the foundation for draughters to develop into electrical designers.

It is also recommended that students who have successfully completed this course attend the electrical generation and protection course (see details below).
Note that this course is not intended to assist the draughter with the use of drawing packages.
A pre requisite for this course is that the student has been trained to use a CAD package of some sort.

Duration:

1 Day

Contents:

• Introduction
• The purpose of drawings
• The importance of accuracy, quality and standardization
• Discuss different type of drawings and their function
• Explain the electrical principles of the following drawings using typical examples:
• Single line diagrams
• Protection block and control diagrams
• AC and DC schematic/key diagrams
• The function of basic components in control circuits e.g. relays, timers, contacts, circuit breaker, fuses, etc.
• Good drawing practices

Electrical generation and protection course (EGPC001)

Overview:

The aim of this course is to help the course attendees to obtain a basic knowledge on power generation principles and to understand the essence of power system protection.

Duration:

2 Days

Note that this course does not have to run for two consecutive days. It is possible to split the course, for example one day this week and another day the following week. We suggest that the two days are not scheduled too far apart.

Contents:

Part 1:

• Introduction
• Power generation equipment and different methods to generate power
• Electrical units and the relation between them: current, voltage, power, power factor, etc.
• Basic transmission and distribution systems
• Why do we need electrical protection?
• Important factors to bear in mind with regards to electrical protection systems
• Different faults that may occur on electrical systems
• Fault levels and the calculation of fault currents
• Protection equipment: fuses, circuit breakers, current and voltage transformers, protection relays

Part 2:

• Different protection relays
• Different protection schemes, applications and principle of operation: overcurrent and earth fault, differential, transformer, generator, feeder, etc.
• Generator and excitation systems, AVR's and grid synchronizing
• Generator limitations
• Test and commissioning of protection systems
• SCADA and substation automation

These training courses are designed to assist operating and maintenance personnel, engineers and technicians in training, electrical draughters as well as systems engineers and project managers with their day-to-day duties.

The above-mentioned courses are presented on demand.
