Approximately 80% of plant downtime is related to equipment failure. Most stoppages aren't caused by complex electronic systems and devices, but by mechanically biased electrical components such as motors, contactors, cabling, relays and sensors.
Mechanical engineers often lack the confidence or knowledge required to identify and fix faults in these components resulting in more downtime whilst waiting for external assistance from electricians to be sourced.
This course provides you with the knowledge and understanding of industrial electrical systems, approaches to their maintenance, and the principles of fault finding, diagnostics and repair. The course will cover fault finding techniques that can be applied to more traditional components as well as introducing more modern technology including Variable Speed Drives (VSD) and servo drives.
It will also cover the core safety requirements for ensuring that plant and equipment worked upon is safe to be returned to service and functions correctly. This course will enable engineering professionals to improve productivity and efficiency of plant operations by increasing speed of response to issues encountered to reduce downtime due to faults in electrical components.
Electrical, mechanical, and mechatronics biased engineers and technicians.
This course is also suitable for people looking to develop a wider understanding of different fault-finding techniques and principles of inverter and servo driven systems.
Understand how electrical systems work within a modern industrial application.
