COURSE OVERVIEW:

Advanced electrical troubleshooting is a systematic approach to identifying and rectifying complex faults within power systems and industrial machinery. This discipline requires a profound understanding of circuit dynamics, component interactions, and the physics of electrical failure modes. By integrating logical deduction with sophisticated diagnostic tools, technical personnel can pinpoint the root cause of intermittent malfunctions or catastrophic failures, ensuring that repairs are not merely superficial fixes but long term solutions that prevent recurrence.

The scope of this comprehensive program encompasses a wide array of electrical assets, from high voltage switchgear and motor control centers to sensitive control logic and automated distribution panels. It addresses the critical intersection of mechanical and electrical stressors that lead to equipment degradation, providing a framework for analyzing thermal anomalies, insulation breakdown, and harmonic interference. Participants will explore the technical nuances of circuit restoration, focusing on the precision required to repair specialized components while maintaining the original equipment manufacturer standards and system integrity.

Coverage includes the rigorous application of safety isolation techniques, ensuring that all energy sources are effectively neutralized before any physical intervention occurs. The course details the implementation of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the verification of zero energy states in complex, interconnected networks. Through a detailed study of modern diagnostic methodologies and repair standards, the curriculum bridges the gap between theoretical electrical science and the practical demands of maintaining a high availability, safe, and efficient electrical infrastructure.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Apply advanced logical frameworks to reduce downtime during complex electrical fault finding.
• Interpret intricate schematic diagrams and wiring blueprints to trace signal and power flow.
• Utilize thermal imaging and power quality analyzers to detect hidden equipment stressors.
• Demonstrate proficiency in performing insulation resistance and polarization index tests.
• Execute precise repairs on circuit breaker contacts, springs, and auxiliary mechanisms.
• Implement robust isolation procedures for multi-source and interconnected electrical networks.
• Analyze the root causes of intermittent tripping in sensitive protection relays.
• Evaluate the integrity of grounding and bonding systems to ensure personnel safety.
• Perform safe discharge procedures for large capacitive and inductive stored energy devices.
• Manage the lifecycle of critical electrical components through predictive repair strategies.
• Verify the effectiveness of electrical isolations using the "Test-Before-Touch" principle.
• Develop comprehensive standard operating procedures (SOPs) for high-risk electrical repairs.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is specifically designed for Senior Electrical Engineers, Maintenance Supervisors, Field Service Technicians, and Safety Officers involved in the operation and upkeep of industrial, commercial, and utility electrical systems.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
