At the end of the course, you are expected to demonstrate knowledge, have a detailed understanding and proficiency in power generation, transmission and distribution, understand the dangers associated with working with, or around electrical equipment, apply safety measures on how to protect yourself and the equipment.

At the end of the course, you are expected to demonstrate knowledge, have a detailed understanding and proficiency in handling most common switches, timers and control devices found in every industry. You have hundreds (probably thousands) of these devices in your plant. We will show how these devices work, how they are wired, and how to troubleshoot them. This program also provides the first step in learning ladder diagram.

We show how these devices work, how they are wired, and how to troubleshoot them. This program also provides the first step in learning ladder diagrams

All maintenance personnel must know how to read and write ladder diagrams
it’s an essential skill. Plus, it’s a prerequisite to using PLCs (programmable controllers). This program explains the components of a control circuit and moves on to more complex circuits. Use this program to learn the fundamentals of control circuits and then go on to Preventive Maintenance & Troubleshooting Control Circuits and learn troubleshooting.

Preventive Maintenance & Troubleshooting Control Circuits

This modules covers the most basic, fundamental, and important troubleshooting skills needed in the plant. It’s not enough to know what the different components do you need a quick way of identifying and solving control circuit problems. For example, the main problem with a short circuit isn’t the short itself—it’s the fact that things aren’t running. Combine this program with the one on the previous module for a complete control circuit toolkit. Use both programs to make sure you understands control circuits and can troubleshoot them

This program gives everyone the practical motor control knowledge they need as well as explains the different causes of motor failures and the ways to prevent them. Whether you’re using AC or DC motors, this program will give everyone in your plant the skills to protect your equipment. This program, combined with Sizing the Protection of Motors & Control Circuits, provides the best reference for safe motor operation in your plant.

Some skills, such as reading motor nameplates, may be basic but are still important. The information in this program is extremely important because if someone makes a mistake, not only will you not be up to code, but a dangerous situation could occur. After under going this this program, you’ll not only be able to prevent future problems, but also spot and solve problems that may have been lurking in your plant for years.
