Electrical Engineering for Non-Electrical Engineers

Course Overview:

Electricity has become a part and parcel of the modern society and we cannot think of leading a normal life in this world without electricity. Therefore, the knowledge of electrical engineering has become essential to successfully utilize the electrical energy and operate the electrical equipment not only for the electrical engineers but also for non-electrical engineers. In this course certain important aspects of electrical engineering required for nonelectrical engineers and the operating principles of some commonly used electrical devices will be dealt with.

Basic principles of protection of electrical components and human operators and safety procedures which are essential for non-electrical engineers are clearly explained.

The objective of this three-day course is to develop an understanding of basic electric circuits, electronic devices, and embedded software control that is encountered in their daily work for non-electrical engineers and other non-technical staff.

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, the trainees will be aware and understanding of the following:

To be familiar with Generation, Transmission & Distribution system
AC and DC electricity principles
Electrical equipment and instrumentation in industrial applications, including motors, transformers, switchgear, over current protection devices, and power/energy monitoring systems Equipment Operation
Gain an understanding of the operating characteristics of all electrical equipment
Electrical system concepts, including power quality, load factor and service factor, demand, peak demand, distinction between electrical energy and electrical power
Understanding Electrical Drawings
Safety: Electrical Code and Safety and arc flash hazards

Who Should Attend?

The training course is designed for fresh graduate engineers; any engineers would like to know more about electrical engineering.
