Electrical Installations in Hazardous Areas: Classification, Safe Handling, Operation & Maintenance

Course Introduction

This Electrical Installations training course begins with the fundamental principles that always apply to ensure safety. The Electrical Engineering training course then progresses through basic design procedures, inspection, testing and maintenance requirements, concluding with a review of power quality problems that affect the reliability of an installation where high technology interfaces with a supply. The electrical designer, installer and maintenance team are all expected to provide an installation that is safe, cost effective and reliable throughout its lifetime.

Objectives

The participants will be able to:

• The safety factors required by national and international standards
• The functional considerations that a designer has to take into account
• How new technology can impact on the design particularly power quality
• Safety requirements during installation, inspection and testing
• Inspection and testing techniques that affect the maintenance requirements
• How to improve productivity by improving the reliability of an installation
