COURSE OVERVIEW:

Accurate measurement is the foundation of electrical engineering, providing the data necessary for system monitoring, protection, and billing. This course provides a comprehensive exploration of the principles governing electrical measurements and the practical application of modern instrumentation. Participants will explore the physics of how electrical parameters are sensed and converted into readable data, focusing on the accuracy and limitations of various measurement technologies.

The scope of this training addresses the full range of electrical variables, including voltage, current, power, energy, and frequency. It covers the technical nuances of using both analog and digital instruments, emphasizing the importance of proper connection, scaling, and the use of instrument transformers (CTs and VTs). The curriculum provides a detailed focus on the interpretation of complex parameters such as power factor, harmonic distortion, and phase angle in three-phase systems.

Coverage includes the implementation of calibration procedures and the application of safety standards when working with measurement equipment in live environments. Attendees will learn to utilize advanced tools like power quality analyzers and oscilloscopes to troubleshoot system disturbances. By combining theoretical measurement theory with hands-on practical exercises, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to gather and interpret the precise data needed for modern power system management.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

• Explain the fundamental principles of electrical measurement and sensing.
• Identify and use various instruments for V, I, R, and P measurements.
• Differentiate between "True RMS" and "Average Responding" meters.
• Utilize Current and Voltage Transformers for high-power measurements.
• Perform accurate power and energy measurements in 3-phase systems.
• Analyze power factor and reactive power using professional tools.
• Identify sources of measurement error and implement corrections.
• Utilize oscilloscopes to visualize waveforms and transients.
• Perform power quality audits using specialized analyzers.
• Calibrate and verify the accuracy of measurement instruments.
• Apply safety protocols (CAT ratings) when selecting test tools.
• Document measurement results and generate technical data reports.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Electrical Technicians, Metering Specialists, Quality Control Inspectors, and Junior Engineers responsible for system data.

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.
