COURSE OVERVIEW:

The ability to decipher complex electrical blueprints and technical records is the foundational skill upon which all safe engineering practices are built. This course provides a technical deep dive into the universal language of electrical symbols, notations, and drafting standards used in global industrial projects. Participants will explore the hierarchy of documentation, learning how to bridge the gap between abstract design concepts and the physical reality of installed power systems.

The scope of this training addresses the full spectrum of engineering records, from initial conceptual Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) to the final "As-Built" documentation maintained by facility managers. It covers the technical nuances of cross-referencing between schematic sheets, interpreting cable schedules, and understanding the logic flow within complex protection and control diagrams. The curriculum provides a detailed focus on the differences between IEC and ANSI standards, ensuring participants can work effectively with equipment from any international manufacturer.

Coverage includes the practical application of drawings for troubleshooting, fault finding, and the planning of safe electrical isolations. Attendees will learn to utilize site plans for locating buried services and to interpret panel schedules for load management. By combining theoretical symbol recognition with hands-on "blueprint reading" exercises, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to communicate effectively through technical media and maintain the integrity of electrical records.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

• Identify and define standardized electrical symbols used in power and control systems.
• Differentiate between Single Line Diagrams, Three-Line Diagrams, and Schematics.
• Navigate complex multi-sheet drawing sets using accurate cross-referencing techniques.
• Interpret the technical data contained within the drawing title blocks and revisions.
• Translate "As-Built" markups into permanent facility engineering records.
• Locate specific components within a physical installation using layout drawings.
• Extract conductor sizing and routing information from cable and conduit schedules.
• Analyze logic diagrams to understand the sequence of operations for automated systems.
• Utilize electrical diagrams to identify critical isolation points for safety permits.
• Verify the consistency between physical nameplate data and engineering documentation.
• Interpret "Hazardous Area" classification drawings for specialized equipment placement.
• Apply international drawing standards (IEC 60617 and ANSI) to daily work tasks.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Electrical Technicians, Junior Engineers, Site Supervisors, Maintenance Planners, and Safety Officers who must interact with electrical design records.

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.
