Testing, Commissioning & Maintenance of Electrical Systems



Introduction:


This course provides an understanding of the role of commissioning in a project of any size. Emphasis will be on the importance of project planning and preparation, from engineering to commissioning and start up. This course deals with safety considerations in maintenance and testing procedures for all electrical system components. It also discusses field testing of major components of an electrical system, including motors, generators, transformers, switchgear, protection and control, UPS and battery systems. Main topics of the course are:

 

  • AC & DC voltage testing techniques
  • Motors & generators
  • Transformers & switchgear
  • Cables & accessories
  • Battery system & protective relay system
  • Power distribution system maintenance
  • Grounding, ground resistance measurement
  • Harmonics & predictive maintenance
  • Electrical safety

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

 

  • Describe how to plan and implement electrical system commissioning
  • Pick out field tests for electrical distribution systems
  • Select among corrective and preventive maintenance for electric power distribution systems
  • Explain the AC and DC testing of electrical equipment
