Basic Electricity for Industrial Maintenance

This 36-hour Electrical Maintenance Training course provides a comprehensive foundation in electrical principles and practical skills essential for effective maintenance. Through a balanced approach of theoretical knowledge and hands-on application, participants will delve into DC and AC circuit theory, mastering concepts like Ohm's Law, Watt's Law, impedance, and three-phase power. A significant portion of the training is dedicated to the proper use of electrical meters for accurate measurements and the systematic approach to troubleshooting common electrical failures, including open circuits, short circuits, and ground faults. The course emphasizes electrical safety, covering hazards, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and compliance with NEC and OSHA regulations. Finally, participants will gain an understanding of electrical distribution systems, wire sizing, circuit protection, grounding, and power factor. This course is ideal for individuals seeking to develop or enhance their electrical maintenance capabilities in an industrial or commercial setting.
