COURSE OVERVIEW:

The ability to accurately interpret electrical drawings is a foundational skill for any professional involved in the design, installation, or maintenance of electrical systems. This course provides a comprehensive technical guide to the language of electrical engineering, focusing on the standardized symbols and conventions used globally. Participants will explore the hierarchy of electrical documentation, learning how to navigate from high-level system overviews down to detailed component-level wiring diagrams.

The scope of this training addresses the full range of document types, including Single Line Diagrams (SLD), Three-Line Diagrams, Schematics, and Logic Charts. It covers the technical nuances of cross-referencing between different sheets, interpreting cable schedules, and understanding the "As-Built" versus "Design" notation. The curriculum provides a detailed focus on the use of modern CAD and BIM standards, ensuring that participants can utilize digital tools to extract critical system data.

Coverage includes the interpretation of international symbol sets such as IEC 60617 and ANSI/IEEE standards, allowing for the reading of drawings from various global manufacturers. Attendees will learn to utilize drawings for troubleshooting, fault finding, and the planning of safe isolations. By combining theoretical symbol recognition with practical "Blueprint Reading" exercises, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to communicate effectively through the universal medium of electrical diagrams.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

• Identify and interpret standard symbols for HV and LV equipment.
• Differentiate between SLDs, Schematics, and Wiring Diagrams.
• Navigate complex multi-sheet drawing sets using cross-references.
• Interpret "Logic Diagrams" and "Function Block" charts.
• Read and extract data from "Cable Schedules" and "Panel Directories."
• Identify "Interlocking Logic" and "Protection Zones" on drawings.
• Utilize drawings to identify isolation points for safe work.
• Trace control circuits to troubleshoot system faults.
• Interpret "Layout Drawings" for equipment placement and clearances.
• Understand the "Revision Control" and "Drawing Status" markings.
• Translate "As-Built" mark-ups into professional records.
• Comply with IEC and ANSI standards for electrical documentation.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Junior Engineers, Maintenance Technicians, Project Supervisors, and Safety Officers who require a working knowledge of electrical documentation.

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.
