FUNDAMENTALS OF INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING Traing Course

Introduction

The growing demands for skilled staff, coupled with a worldwide shortage of experienced personnel, has led to the ever-increasing need for a multi-disciplinary, cross-trained workforce.

What you will learn

The course is based on a wealth of experiential knowledge gleaned from the author's experience working within a systems integration company and also feedback from more than 4000 technicians and engineers who have attended the author’s workshops. On successful completion of this workshop delegates will be able to:

• understand the basic concepts of electricity
• utilise common electronic terminology
• recognize the different components used in industrial electronic systems
• demonstrate the construction and operation of common electronic components
• identify components and read their values
• identify electronic component symbols
• implement procedures for the testing of electronic components
• design and analyse simple circuits
• make use of basic test equipment
• recognise and efficiently troubleshoot common electronic component and circuit problems
• undertake basic faultfinding
• undertake basic repairs – removing and replacing components
• understand and design simple logic circuits
• review operational amplifiers, oscillators, multivibrators, timers, A/D and D/A converters, and scanners
• effectively apply the principles of analog meters, digital meters and oscilloscopes
• recognise the difference between series, shunt, and compound field windings
• gain an insight into two- and three-phase rotating fields
• understand the difference between synchronous and induction motors
• identify the needs of an emergency power system
• gain an overview of the requirements for designing and sizing an electrical system
• understand the need for power factor correction

Training methodology

Designed for both novice and experienced engineers, technicians and artisans, this workshop provides a basic training in electrical and electronic engineering as applied in an industrial environment.

Throughout the workshop, participants will learn through active participation using exercises, questionnaires, and a computer simulated circuit building program covering:

• basic electrical circuits
• basic electronic circuits
• diagnostics and faultfinding
• removing and replacing components

Who should attend

Professionals with little to moderate background in industrial electronics
