Description
Course Description: This fundamental course was developed for technicians and managers who need to understand electrical power systems: how they are designed, what can go wrong and how to find the problem areas. Several types of drawings and schematics are explained, and hands-on exercises will demonstrate their practical use for basic troubleshooting.
Prerequisites: Attendees should have basic electrical training. Some field experience is recommended but not mandatory.
Course Learning Objectives:
- Types of electrical system drawings, the basic layout and the purpose of each.
- Legends used on electrical drawings
- Understanding and identify typical electrical symbols
- Standard ANSI/IEEE device numbers
- How circuits and devices interact with each other
- To understand the “logic” functions in electromechanical control systems
- To troubleshoot electrical problems using elementary diagrams, one-line diagrams and Schematics.
- To understand device functions and system operations such as circuit breaker and motor controls and transfer schemes.
- Hands-on (~30%) training program augmented with round-table discussions, and perform practical exercises using elementary diagrams, one-line diagrams and schematics.
