COURSE OVERVIEW:

Advanced maintenance management for electrical assets is a strategic discipline that shifts the focus from reactive repairs to a sophisticated, reliability-centered approach. This course explores the integration of engineering principles with management systems to optimize the performance and lifespan of critical electrical infrastructure. Participants will analyze the economic and operational impacts of equipment downtime, learning how to balance maintenance costs against the risks of catastrophic failure within complex industrial and utility environments.

The scope of this training encompasses the development and implementation of comprehensive asset management frameworks, including the transition to Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) and Predictive Maintenance (PdM). It addresses the technical requirements for monitoring high voltage transformers, switchgear, and rotating machinery while utilizing data-driven insights to inform decision-making. The curriculum focuses on the human and systemic elements of maintenance, such as spare parts optimization, resource leveling, and the application of international standards for electrical safety and reliability.

Coverage includes a deep dive into advanced diagnostic technologies, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and the utilization of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) for tracking asset health. Students will learn how to interpret complex data sets from thermography, partial discharge monitoring, and oil analysis to schedule interventions precisely when needed. By the conclusion of the course, attendees will be equipped to lead maintenance departments toward a proactive culture that prioritizes safety, efficiency, and the long-term sustainability of electrical power systems.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

• Design and implement a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) program for electrical assets.
• Evaluate the criticality of various electrical components to prioritize maintenance resources.
• Utilize Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as MTBF and MTTR to measure success.
• Conduct Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) to prevent the recurrence of electrical faults.
• Integrate Condition Monitoring data into the long term asset management strategy.
• Optimize the inventory of critical spare parts using advanced forecasting techniques.
• Manage the lifecycle costs (LCC) of transformers, motors, and high voltage switchgear.
• Implement international standards such as ISO 55000 for electrical asset management.
• Develop detailed maintenance task lists and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Coordinate large-scale electrical shutdowns and turnarounds with minimal operational impact.
• Analyze the cost-benefit ratio of equipment refurbishment versus total replacement.
• Lead a culture of electrical safety excellence and technical continuous improvement.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Maintenance Managers, Electrical Engineers, Asset Management Professionals, Technical Superintendents, and Operations Supervisors responsible for the reliability of electrical power 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.
