Electric Motors Protection In Non-Hazardous & Hazardous Environments
Course Description
This course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the principles, standards, and best practices for protecting electric motors in both non-hazardous and hazardous environments. The training explores motor protection techniques, applicable standards (e.g., IEC, IEEE, ATEX), and practical solutions to ensure safety, reliability, and efficiency in industrial settings.
  • The types of electric motors used in these industries
  • How motors are started and controlled, including variable speed drives
  • The various classifications types of motors used in hazardous areas
  • The importance of selecting and installing the correct motor bearings
  • Lubrication programs to ensure the maximum motor life
  • The importance utilizing the correct motor protection
  • The use of intelligent motor control and motor managers
  • Effective motor maintenance, on line and off line diagnostics
  • A repair program for faulty electric motors
