About the Course

There has been widespread use of electric equipment in industries and household appliances. New applications have emerged. Novel control strategies, new circuit topologies and new electronic devices have contributed to further performance improvements in electric systems. An electrical power system is a typical large-scale system. Its security, reliability, efficiency, and economy have enormous and far-reaching effects on a national economy. Questions such as how to accurately reflect the characteristics of modern electrical power systems and how to analyse & improve their operating features & performance effectively are at the forefront of electrical power systems research. Electrical power system analysis is used as the fundamental measure to study planning and operating problems. Maximum efficiency, reliability, and longevity of electrical equipment are of great concern to many industries. These objectives can only be achieved by understanding the characteristics, selection criteria, technology, operation, testing, maintenance, and control techniques.

This Electrical Equipment and Control Systems training course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various types of electrical equipment such as motors, variable-speed drives, transformers, generators, rectifiers, inverters, uninterruptible power systems (UPS), circuit breakers, fuses, and switches. Protective and control systems are also provided. It starts with the required electrical, electronic, and control fundamentals. Then, it covers technical specifications, design principles, operating characteristics, selection criteria, testing, and maintenance of electric equipment.

Core Objectives

This training course mainly aims to provide a comprehensive learning on the characteristics, operation, testing, and maintenance of the various types of electrical equipment such as motors, variable-speed drives, transformers, generators, rectifiers and inverters, uninterruptible power systems (UPS), switch gears, and circuit breakers. Advanced protective devices and control techniques are also provided as well as guidelines and rules that must be followed for an efficient design and a successful operation.
