Training Course Overview

Electric motors play a crucial role in all electrical installations. The selection of motor types and their operations has been carefully designed to optimize performance. This LV Motors training course will cover the construction of various motor types to better understand their operating principles and characteristics, including single-phase motors, three-phase motors, and drives.

The course will provide an in-depth discussion of the design criteria, enclosures, and starting methods for AC single-phase and three-phase motors, helping participants understand their starting processes and operational functions. As electric motors are a vital part of electrical systems, the course will also focus on protection methods and maintenance practices.

A solid understanding of maintenance and troubleshooting procedures will lead to reduced downtime and increased productivity, benefiting both the company and its management. Furthermore, the course will highlight protection requirements, including the use of digital numerical relays, and how they integrate with the overall system to safeguard expensive equipment from failure, while also ensuring the safety of operational personnel.

This training course will feature:

  • The operations and characteristics of single-phase motors
  • Characteristics and construction of three phase induction motors
  • Operation of variable frequency drive motors
  • The importance and role of motor protection and numerical relays
  • The types of maintenance strategies for motors installation

Training Course Objectives

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

  • Describe the various types of induction motors and drives
  • Appreciate the importance of numerical protection relays
  • Analyse the various motor characteristics and applications
  • Explain the various maintenance strategies applied to motors
  • Recognise the importance of correct troubleshooting equipment and techniques

Designed for

This LV Motors training course will benefit all levels of personnel in an electrical installation. It will enable them to identify the causes and apply analysis of electrical faults in a power system.

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

  • Electricians
  • Electrical supervisors
  • Plant electricians
  • Operations & maintenance engineers, supervisors & technicians
  • Maintenance technicians

Learning Methods

This LV Motors 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 case studies (with appropriate solutions), latest videos, technologies, and various commercial fault current analysis software. 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.
