COURSE OVERVIEW
The continuity and quality of electricity delivered safely and economically by today’s and future electrical power networks are essential for both developed and developing economies. An electric power distribution system plays a vital role in the efficient operation of a modern industrial plant. Such a system includes high-voltage circuit breakers, switchgear, transformers, motor control centers, electric motors, variable-speed drives, etc. Power systems equipment must withstand the rated voltage, which corresponds to a particular system’s highest voltage, and the expected short level. The accurate modeling of power system equipment and correct fault analysis of electrical networks are pre-requisite to ensuring safety.
This Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants course will cover all aspects of power distribution, including system planning, equipment selection, and application, system grounding, protection and conformity with electrical code requirements, etc.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants, the participant will gain good knowledge about the following topics:
- Key principles of electrical projects & planning in distribution systems.
- Standards and recommended practices.
- Electrical distribution systems.
- How to select, maintain and control DC and AC motors.
- The characteristics, properties, insulation, shielding, jacketing, short circuit capabilities, and references of wires and cables.
- Transformers ratings, application, selection, and safety.
- Medium and low voltage switchgear and motor control centers.
- Topics in faults and circuit protection.
- Distribution, construction, fuses, circuit breakers, disconnects, grounding, types, and ratings of switchboards and panels
- UPS and batteries.
- System grounding philosophy.
- Classifications of hazardous areas, equipment certification, and equipment protection methods.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants training course is suitable for a wide range of technical professionals and includes:
- Maintenance Engineers and supervisors
- Project & Facilities Engineers
- Operations & maintenance engineers, supervisors & technicians
- Instrumentation or Controls Engineers.
- Electrical Forman and Technicians
- And in general, Inspection, materials, safety, and maintenance Electrical engineering team
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The latest educational methods and strategies are employed. The course is designed to not only give the required fundamental knowledge but also to provide a strong background for all attendees towards practical industrial applications. The course will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas. Participation is encouraged in a supportive environment. To ensure the concepts introduced during the course are understood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods, including lecture-style presentations, open discussion, case studies, simulations, and group work.
Pre & Post course assessments will be used to measure the effectiveness of this training.
