Power and ElectricalIndustrial Electrical Systems Design and Safety
A three day course on designing industrial electrical installations that are safe to build, operate and work on. Delegates work through industrial design standards and practice, cable sizing, containment and installation methods, and hazardous area classification and the equipment selection that follows from it. Arc flash receives detailed treatment, covering hazard analysis, incident energy and the selection of protective equipment, because arc flash remains a leading cause of severe electrical injury and the assessments are frequently either missing or out of date. Lockout tagout and electrical permit to work systems are covered as the controls that make the design safe in practice, and the course closes on electrical safety audits and incident investigation.
Course objectives
- Apply industrial electrical design standards to power distribution layouts
- Conduct arc flash hazard analysis and specify appropriate personal protective equipment
- Design cable sizing, containment and installation for industrial environments
- Apply lockout tagout and electrical permit to work systems
- Evaluate hazardous area classification requirements for electrical equipment
- Assess shock protection, earthing and touch voltage in an installation
- Verify an installation through inspection and testing before energisation
