Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems
Uninterruptible supplies protect critical loads until the batteries fail unnoticed. This course covers specifying, operating and maintaining these systems so they work when needed.
Course outline
What this programme covers, module by module.
- 01What an uninterruptible supply protects and how it fails
- 02Topologies and matching them to the load
- 03Sizing for load, runtime and future growth
- 04Batteries: types, ageing, monitoring and replacement
- 05Bypass, maintenance mode and safe switching
- 06Testing without endangering the protected load
- 07Monitoring, alarms and planned battery replacement
What you will gain
- Select an uninterruptible supply topology for the load
- Size the system for load and required runtime
- Maintain batteries and monitor their condition
- Operate bypass and maintenance modes safely
- Test the system without risking the load
- Plan battery replacement before failure
Who should attend
- Electrical and facilities technicians
- Data centre and critical facility staff
- Maintenance engineers
- IT infrastructure staff

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.
