Training Course Overview

This Electrical Power Systems for Non-Engineers training course is designed to help non-engineers grasp the fundamentals and operations of electrical power systems. It covers everything from traditional electricity generation methods to the basics of renewable energy power generation. The course explores the transmission and distribution of electrical power, focusing on the roles of power transformers, circuit breakers, electric motors, and earthing systems. Safety and electrical hazards are emphasized throughout all electrical installations.

Understanding basic single-line diagrams is key to comprehending the power flow in electrical systems. The course will also highlight alternating current (AC) systems, covering important electrical concepts such as voltage, current, power, power factor, and frequency in both single-phase and three-phase systems. A culture of maintenance, supported by standard testing and measuring instruments, is essential for ensuring the reliability and safety of electrical power systems.

This training course will feature:

  • Generation, transmission and distribution of electricity
  • Types of AC single-phase and three-phase network systems
  • Power and power factor in an AC system
  • Protection devices in an electrical installation
  • Electrical safety and electric shock hazards

Training Course Objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity
  • Analyse Grounding systems and electrical safety
  • Determine Electric shock risks and arc flash hazards
  • Have a better understanding of electrical faults and protective devices
  • Familiarise with main electrical equipment like transformers, motors and circuit breakers

Designed for

This Electrical Power Systems for Non-Engineers training course will greatly benefit all non-electrical personnel of an electrical installation. This will be from the mechanical, civil, operations admin departments. The level of electrical knowledge for these groups of personnel can either be for beginners and intermediate levels.

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Mechanical engineering engineers
  • Mechanical engineering technicians
  • Safety officers
  • Civil engineering personnel
  • Administrative and management staff

Learning Methods

This Electrical Power Systems for Non-Engineers training course will utilise a variety of proven adult training techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes presentation and discussion of latest videos and technologies on low, medium and high voltage switchgears. Questions are encouraged throughout, particularly at the daily wrap up sessions. This provides opportunities for participants to discuss with the Presenter specific issues and, if possible, find appropriate solutions. Specific goals of each participant will be discussed to ensure that their needs are fulfilled whenever practicable.
