Fault Finding and Repair of Industrial Electrical Equipment

Downtime often comes down to how quickly a technician can locate and repair an electrical fault. This programme builds a logical fault finding method that works across motors, controls, wiring and instrumentation. Delegates practise using test instruments and drawings to trace problems to their root cause.

What you will be able to do

  • Apply a structured fault finding method to electrical problems.
  • Read circuit and control drawings to trace faults.
  • Use meters and test instruments safely and accurately.
  • Diagnose faults in motors, starters and control circuits.
  • Identify wiring, contact and insulation failures.
  • Carry out safe repairs and confirm correct operation.
