Industrial electrical maintenance course – Course Description

This industrial electrical maintenance course is designed to enable candidates who have a small amount of electrical knowledge to gain recognised qualifications and skills to enable them to enter an industrial environment and work as a industrial electrician. The industrial electrical maintenance course will include a large amount of practical, enabling the candidate to install, fault find, design and wiring up control panels, using a variety of different methods.

Industrial electrical maintenance course Aims

The aim of the industrial electrical maintenance course is to provide solid foundations upon which the participant will be able to build and develop. Emphasis is given to providing the necessary skills, which will allow the participant to carry out routine electrical tasks. It is also made clear that a participant needs to identify and know their own limitations, allowing tasks to be carried out in a safe manner, not giving rise to danger thus preventing electric shock.

We have a large amount of industrial electrical equipment which allows real world experience as such you will be fully competent in the likes of panel wiring for example.

Level 3 Certification

Level 3 National Certification is included with the first 10 days of the course, it enables the Candidate to identify the principles applied to, the processes involved and the components used in the construction of Electrical Panels for Engineering Applications and, the techniques used in inspection, testing and commissioning of electrical panels and associated equipment. You will gain knowledge and be assessed in the following areas.

  • Understand the relevant statutory and non-statutory legislation associated with design, construction and application of Electro Technical Panels;
  • Understand safe systems of working on Electro Technical Panels;
  • Understand how to interpret drawings, diagrams, specifications and manufacturers data to locate, position, install and connect wiring systems, components, wiring enclosures and equipment;
  • Understand how to select the appropriate tools and equipment to carry out the panel build;
  • Understand how to interpret drawings, diagrams, specifications and manufacturers’ data and to select

appropriate working methods and procedures using tools, equipment and instruments to refurbish, maintain and repair electro technical panels;

  • Understand how to select appropriate working methods and use tools, equipment and instruments for the testing and commissioning of electro technical panels.

During this part of the course, you will learn skills on programming, fault finding, modify and using PLC programs. The course is designed to be as practical as possible, enabling the candidate to gain the maximum amount of exposure to ‘real life’ equipment. During the course we cover the manufacturers listed below, which are the most popular brands currently in use within the UK. (We can accommodate other manufacturers if required)

  • Allen Bradley  SLC (RSLogix 500)
  • ControlLogix (RS Logix5000)
  • MicroLogix (RSLogix 500)
  • S7-200 PLC Training (Step 7 Micro)
  • S7-300 PLC Training (Step 7)
  • Mitsubishi PLC Training (Medoc, GX Developer)

Level 3 Certification

Level 3 National Certification is included within the PLC element of the Course by enhancing the introductory week (PLC01) with a second week of the study and undertaking assessments

To achieve unit certification, candidates must be able to:

  • Demonstrate an Understanding of the Internal Architecture of PLCs, their Applications and Knowledge of the Number Systems they use
  • Demonstrate an Understanding of Typical Input and Output Devices used with PLCs, their Selection and how they are Interfaced to the PLC
  • Investigate and Display an Understanding of the Basic Programming Techniques used with PLCs.
  • Produce a Correctly Developed Program for a PLC to Control a Specified Process and Document the Completed Program to a Satisfactory Standard.
  • Demonstrate an Understanding of How to Monitor PLC Operation, Force Devices and Fault Find PLC Controlled Processes.

Summary

After completion of the 2 weeks of industrial electrical maintenance training course, the candidate will have obtained a Level 3 qualification, within the electrical wiring sector, this qualification is ideally suited for a candidate wishing to enter the Industrial Maintenance Electrical environment.
