TROUBLESHOOTING ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
This course will help to maximize industrial productivity and help to solve problems faster and reduce electrical equipment downtime.
Establishing preventative maintenance programs is becoming critical to maintaining the uptime of electrical equipment and can significantly reduce both planned and unplanned downtime. Unplanned downtime costs are difficult to calculate, but often significant. For some industries, it can represent 1 to 3 per cent of revenue (potentially 30 per cent to - 40 per cent of profits) annually.
The course will review equipment necessary to perform a Site Survey, such as industry oscilloscopes and Multimeters, Power Quality Analyzers, Current Clamp meters, and Mini Infrared Thermometers.
- Learn how to perform insulation tests, insulation voltages, plus a wide range of DMM tasks with confidence and ease. Necessary for work on motors, cables and switchgear.
- Learn how to accurately measure AC current without breaking the circuit
- Check for hot spots and measure temperature with the Mini non-contact thermometers.
- Measure voltage level, current balance, harmonics, power, energy, power factor, displacement power factor, determine bad or marginal circuit breakers, “K” factor, Crest factor.
Preventive Maintenance
Basic power quality measurements to production equipment maintenance procedures allows to determine unexpected failures on both production equipment and power system.
Insurance claims data in the NFPA 70B maintenance standard show that roughly half of the cost associated with electrical failures could be prevented by regular maintenance. To determine the cost of a failure, it helps to consider three key categories: Loss of income due to downtime, cost of labor to troubleshoot, repair and restart and cost of damage equipment.
Learn how to conduct an energy study
The rising cost of energy means that optimal use of energy has become even more critical. The first step in managing energy is understanding how much and when energy is being used. Learn how to conduct an energy study at the main utility power supply service entrance, and profile individual loads and estimate the effects on your electric bill.
The course will include several case studies including:
- Troubleshooting Lighting Loads
- Motor failures
- Transformer failures
- Circuit breaker/relay/fuse failures
- Electrical noise and transient overvoltages.
- Our Latest Electrical Testing and Maintenance Handbook (Value $35.00)
- 1.4 Continuing Education Unit (CEU) Credits
- A FREE Magazine Subscription (Value $50)
- $100 Coupon toward any future 2010 Electricity Forum event (restrictions apply)
