COURSE OVERVIEW:

Electrical engineering is a foundational discipline that intersects with nearly every other professional field, requiring a basic understanding for effective multidisciplinary collaboration. This course provides a non-technical introduction to the core principles of electricity, focusing on making complex concepts accessible to managers and engineers from other backgrounds. Participants will explore the vocabulary and logic of electrical systems, ensuring they can communicate effectively with electrical specialists and make informed decisions about project resources.

The scope of this training addresses the basic physics of power, including the relationships between voltage, current, and resistance in both AC and DC systems. It covers the technical nuances of how power is generated, transmitted, and safely utilized in industrial and commercial buildings. The curriculum provides a systematic focus on the primary components of an electrical network, such as transformers, motors, and protective devices, explaining their function without requiring advanced mathematical analysis.

Coverage includes a strong emphasis on electrical safety and the interpretation of technical documentation like one-line diagrams. Attendees will learn to recognize hazardous conditions and understand the basic requirements for system maintenance and compliance with national codes. By combining clear explanations with real-world examples, the course equips non-electrical professionals with the expertise required to oversee electrical projects, manage budgets for power upgrades, and ensure a safe working environment for their teams.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

• Define basic electrical terms like Volts, Amps, Watts, and Ohms.
• Explain the fundamental differences between AC and DC power.
• Identify the main components of a typical building power system.
• Interpret simple electrical one-line diagrams and symbols.
• Describe how electricity is safely grounded and protected.
• Identify common electrical hazards and safety equipment (PPE).
• Explain the function of transformers, motors, and generators.
• Understand the impact of power factor and efficiency on costs.
• Communicate effectively with electrical contractors and engineers.
• Recognize the importance of preventative maintenance for reliability.
• Evaluate electrical project proposals and technical specifications.
• Comply with basic safety regulations and "Lockout/Tagout" logic.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Mechanical Engineers, Civil Engineers, Project Managers, Facility Supervisors, and Procurement Officers who work alongside electrical teams.

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.
