- Components of switchgearsGain a comprehensive breakdown of switchgear assemblies. This module covers the function and design of key components, including various types of circuit breakers (e.g., air, vacuum, SF6), protective relays, current and potential transformers, busbars, and control circuitry.0
- Safety and Inspection StandardsMaster the critical procedures for working in high-energy environments. This module focuses on arc flash hazard analysis, correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) selection, and adherence to industry standards (like NFPA 70E and OSHA). You will learn systematic lockout/tagout (LOTO) and formal inspection procedures.0
- Maintenance PracticesLearn the hands-on techniques to ensure system reliability and prevent downtime. This section covers preventive and predictive maintenance strategies, including proper cleaning, lubrication, and standard diagnostic tests (such as insulation resistance, contact resistance, and thermal imaging interpretation).0
- Fault Simulation ExercisesApply your knowledge in a high-stakes, zero-risk environment. Using real-world scenarios and specialized simulators, you will practice troubleshooting and diagnosing common switchgear faults—such as trip-circuit failures, ground faults, and relay malfunctions—to build rapid and effective diagnostic skills.0
