About the course
Statistics indicate that more fires start from electrical system failure than from any other cause. Electrical equipment is usually well designed and properly installed. However, the principal reason for electrical system breakdown is the failure to maintain the installation in its designed state.
Instituting a preventive maintenance program which consists of routine inspections, tests and service of electrical equipment can significantly reduce the potential for breakdown. Without an electrical preventive maintenance program, your facility assumes a risk of serious electrical failure and the heightened potential consequences of fire and/ or production interruption.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course the participant will be able to:
- Identify the function and operation of the electrical equipments
