Content

Day 1: Introduction to Electrical Components and Systems

• Overview of electrical components: switches, circuit breakers, fuses, transformers, relays, and motors
• Understanding electrical systems and their components
• Common reasons for component failure
• Identifying different types of electrical faults (short circuits, open circuits, overloads)
• Importance of proper component replacement and system integrity

Day 2: Safety Standards and Procedures

• Safety standards and regulations (OSHA, IEC, NEC)
• Lockout/tagout procedures and their role in electrical safety
• Personal protective equipment (PPE) and its importance during component replacement
• Electrical shock hazards and preventing accidents
• Proper isolation and de-energizing techniques before working on electrical systems
• Safe handling of electrical components

Day 3: Tools and Techniques for Removing and Replacing Electrical Components

• Overview of tools required for electrical component replacement: screwdrivers, wrenches, multimeters, insulation testers
• Using voltage detectors and testing equipment to confirm de-energized systems
• Best practices for removing and installing components (disconnecting, removing, and reinstalling)
• Techniques for handling and replacing components without causing damage
• Handling sensitive components like circuit boards and relays
• Torque specifications and their relevance during component installation

Day 4: Troubleshooting and Identifying Faulty Components

• How to identify faulty electrical components using diagnostic tools
• Troubleshooting common electrical issues (fuses, breakers, wiring, relays, etc.)
• Using a multimeter to check continuity, resistance, and voltage
• Common signs of wear and failure in electrical components (burnt connections, discolouration, noise, etc.)
• Understanding electrical diagrams and schematics to help identify faults
• Selecting the correct replacement components based on system requirements

Day 5: Replacing Electrical Components and Post-Replacement Checks

• Step-by-step process for replacing various electrical components (motors, transformers, circuit breakers, switches)
• Verifying the functionality of newly installed components
• Re-energizing and testing the system after component replacement
• Post-replacement checks: continuity, voltage, insulation resistance, and operational checks
• Documentation of replacement procedures and maintenance records
• Troubleshooting issues that may arise after replacement
• Preventive maintenance to reduce future component failures

NOTE:

Pre-& Post Tests will be conducted.

Case Studies, Group Exercises, Group Discussions, Last Day reviews, and assessments will be carried out.

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences.  Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.

Very useful Course Materials will be given.
