Electrical Switchgear Course
Overview of the Course
This course covers the Efficient Operations and Maintenance of electrical switchgear. Switchgear units are critical in the protection and supply of electrical power in the manufacturing
sector and in utility distribution systems as they serve to protect other equipment. Careless maintenance routines can lead to system inefficiencies and loss of system dependability.
There are many tools utilized in the maintenance of low, medium, and high-voltage switchgear today, therefore, it is important to know the differences in what to use and when. This course is designed to educate learners on the fundamentals of operating and maintaining electrical switchgear and also enable maintenance managers and technicians to be aware of the importance of
effective maintenance schedules for switchgear.
At the end of this course, learners will be able to go about planning and carrying out the maintenance activities of electrical switchgear efficiently.
