Course Description
There was very little planning of wiring installations in those early days, but now, with supplies from the grid, very large sources of power are introduced into all premises which use electricity and proper planning and design have become essential. Like fire, electricity is a very good servant, but if not properly controlled and used it can prove to be a very dangerous master. The need for planned methods of wiring and installation work has long been recognized and all kinds of regulations, requirements, recommendations, codes of practice and so on have been issued. Some are mandatory and can be enforced by law, whilst others are merely recommendations. A designer of an electrical installation and subsequently the maintenance team are all expected to provide and ensure that an electrical installation is safe, cost effective and reliable throughout its lifetime.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
As a result of many years developing and teaching courses devoted to compliance with the IEE Wiring Regulations for low voltage installations up to 750V & IEC 60364 as well, it has become apparent to me that many operatives and personnel in the electrical contracting industry have forgotten the basic principles and concepts upon which electric power supply and its use are based. As a result of this, misconceived ideas and much confusion have arisen over the interpretation of the regulations. It is the intention of this course to dispel such misconceptions and to educate and where necessary refresh the memory of the trainee. In this respect, emphasis has been placed on those areas where most confusion arises, namely earthing and bonding, protection, and circuit design.
