Overview

The Modern Maintenance of Electrical Distribution Systems is a comprehensive five-day training course that focuses on the latest strategies for maintaining electric power distribution systems. Its objective is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to efficiently manage and uphold these systems, ensuring their optimal performance and reliability.

The program begins with an overview of electric power distribution systems, covering their components, functions, and significance in delivering electricity to end-users. Subsequently, it delves into various maintenance techniques. Preventive maintenance involves routine inspections and servicing to identify and address potential issues before they escalate. Another crucial aspect is predictive maintenance, which utilizes advanced technologies to monitor equipment conditions in real-time, predicting potential failures and allowing for timely intervention.

The course also explores condition-based maintenance, where specific parameters or indicators reflecting equipment health and performance are monitored. It includes the use of advanced diagnostic tools to troubleshoot electrical faults, enabling precise identification of root causes for targeted repairs or replacements. This approach minimizes downtime and optimizes system performance. Safety in maintenance activities is emphasized, providing guidelines for safe work practices, personal protective equipment (PPE), and compliance with relevant regulations and standards.

Course Objectives

The training course equips participants with contemporary maintenance tools for the effective management and upkeep of electrical distribution systems, guaranteeing their optimal performance and reliability.

Delegates will accomplish the following objectives:

  • Comprehend the key components of electrical distribution systems.
  • Assess reliability and performance parameters of electrical distribution systems.
  • Acknowledge the importance of maintenance in ensuring safe operations.
  • Examine and appraise various maintenance strategies, including predictive, preventive, and corrective techniques.
  • Define and apply principles of electrical protection systems.
  • Retrieve and analyze information from system diagrams/plans to ensure the installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of electrical equipment adhere to electricity supply industry standards.
  • Engage in hands-on practice and evaluation of modern maintenance tools and technologies.

Training Methodology

The training course adopts a methodical and proactive methodology to guarantee the dependability, effectiveness, and safety of the electrical distribution system that supplies power to end-users. This systematic approach encompasses activities such as inspection, testing, troubleshooting, as well as the repair and replacement of equipment and components within the distribution system. The course delivery will involve a combination of lectures, seminars, presentations, group discussions, and assignments. Additionally, it incorporates numerous case studies featuring real-world instances of maintenance challenges and their corresponding solutions.
