Electrical Maintenance Planning and Testing
Electrical assets fail with little warning unless they are tested, and testing without a plan wastes outage time. This course covers building an electrical maintenance programme and the diagnostic tests behind it.
Course outline
What this programme covers, module by module.
- 01How electrical assets fail and what warns of it
- 02Building a programme by asset type and criticality
- 03Insulation resistance, polarisation and dielectric testing
- 04Contact resistance, timing and circuit breaker testing
- 05Transformer testing, oil analysis and diagnostics
- 06Protection testing and relay verification
- 07Trending results and repair or replace decisions
What you will gain
- Build a maintenance programme for electrical assets
- Select diagnostic tests appropriate to each asset
- Perform insulation, contact and protection testing
- Interpret test results and trend them over time
- Plan testing around available outage windows
- Decide on repair, refurbishment or replacement

Motor Control Centres and Variable Speed Drives
Motors consume the majority of industrial electricity and their control gear is where much of the downtime originates. This course covers motor control centre construction, starting methods and the drives that control speed and save energy.
Solar Photovoltaic System Design and Installation
Solar installations underperform when they are sized on optimism rather than on load data and site conditions. This course covers system sizing, component selection, installation practice and commissioning for grid tied and hybrid systems.
Substation Operation and Maintenance
Substations concentrate risk and consequence in one place. This course covers the equipment, switching discipline and maintenance regime that keep a substation safe and available.
