Course modules and outline
Preliminary Design Requirements
The design process requires consideration of the installation requirements with respect to the load characteristics, the circuit arrangements, and the source of supply.
- Building services
- Purpose of an installation
- Cables
- External influences
- Transformers
- Compatibility
- Protective devices
- Maintainability
Design Characteristics
To enable work to begin on any electrical installation a detailed specification is required. This specification will be based on the safety and functional requirements considered in Day 1.
- Electrical safety
- Cable installation
- IEC 60364
- Terminations
- Wiring regulations
- Inspection and testing
- Cable sizing
- Documentation
Designing an Installation
Building on the first two days of the training course this module puts into practice the theories developed.
- Single phase design
- Power quality
- Three phase design
- Cable requirements
- Protective device selection
- Installation method
- Earthing and bonding
- Source of supply
Commissioning and Testing
The requirements for any maintenance routine begin during the design process and continue though installation into operation. In many countries there is also a legal requirement to maintain an installation in a safe condition.
- The need to maintain
- Test results
- What is maintenance
- Documentation
- Introduction to commissioning
- Harmonics
- Inspection
- Earth leakage
Periodic Maintenance
After the initial verification of the safety and function of the installation it is necessary to ensure that safety remains effective throughout the lifetime of the installation.
- Maintenance Planning
- Periodic inspection
- Equipment reliability
- Complex testing
- Categories of system
- Harmonic analysis
- Safety critical
- Records
