Description
Engineering disciplines are increasingly integrated into industrial and commercial environments, making a foundational understanding of electrical systems essential for non-electrical engineers. This course thoroughly introduces basic electrical design concepts, focusing on practical knowledge that can be applied to real-world scenarios. You will explore essential topics such as electrical circuits, power generation, transmission, distribution, design philosophies, and electrical safety.
Participants will learn about the Canadian Electrical Code and how it impacts design procedures, grounding methods, and power quality considerations. Key areas covered include voltage levels, system design, construction materials, and the specifics of lighting, motor branch, feeder circuit, and service design. By the end of the course, you will be equipped to handle electrical systems' design and maintenance, ensuring compliance with standards and optimizing performance.
Whether you are involved in building, upgrading, or expanding electrical systems in an industrial plant or a commercial building, this course will provide the skills needed to communicate effectively with electrical engineers and contractors. No prior electrical engineering experience is necessary, making this course accessible to all professionals interested in electrical systems.
Who Should Attend
This course is ideal for non-electrical engineers actively engaged in projects involving electrical and lighting systems within industrial plants, commercial facilities, and institutional buildings.
It is also suitable for plant, project, and facility engineers looking to expand their knowledge of electrical systems and electrical contractors and sales engineers who work with electrical equipment and systems. No formal electrical engineering education is required, and the course is designed to start from the fundamentals. Additionally, facility managers, maintenance personnel, and anyone involved in designing, installing, or maintaining electrical systems will find this course particularly beneficial.
By broadening your understanding of electrical principles and design practices, you will be able to contribute more effectively to your projects and communicate with electrical engineers and contractors. This course will empower you to make informed decisions about electrical systems, helping to ensure safety and efficiency in your work.
