Inspection, Testing and Commissioning IDC Technologies

Overview

Whether you are designing, specifying, installing, testing or commissioning electrical equipment from small to large commercial and industrial installations, you need to have a thorough understanding of switchboards, switchgear, circuit breakers and associated protective relays.

Circuit breakers are critical components in electrical distribution systems and their operation significantly affects the overall operation of the system. Protection relays are then discussed. These are used in power systems to maximise continuity of supply and are found in both small and large power systems from generation, through transmission, distribution and utilisation of power in plant, industrial and commercial equipment.

The Inspection, Testing and Commissioning workshop at IDC Technologies covers commissioning and periodic inspection of cables and their various failure modes and how to detect these faults. 

The often neglected topic of switchboards will be detailed next, followed by the interesting topic of interfacing to the control system (either PLC’s or other control devices).

You will learn:

• Nuts and bolts of electrical inspection, testing and commissioning

• Detailed principles and rules for inspection, testing and commissioning of switchboards, switchgear, cabling and protection relays

• Selection of appropriate type and rating of switchgear and circuit breakers

• The different standards and specifications used for switchgear and circuit breakers

• Asset management of switchgear and protective relays

• Safe maintenance policies including safe working in switch rooms, indoor and outdoor substations

Who Should Attend?

• Design engineers

• Electrical engineers and technicians

• Electrical maintenance engineers, technicians and supervisors

• Electricians

• Field and service technicians

• Instrumentation engineers and technicians

• Plant operators

• Project engineers

• Managers, 

• engineers, 

• technicians 
• and others who may work with switchgear, circuit breakers, switchboards and cabling, who need to update their skills and knowledge in this critical area of inspection
