KapitalBiz Consulting Course
Electrical Engineering for Non-Electrical Engineers
- Date 17 – 19 April
- Format Hilton Hotel / Online
- 13 Lessons
It also includes an explanation of energy engineering terms, an understanding of electrical energy cost and tips on improvement of electrical energy intensity in the industrial and commercial environment as well as providing discussion on the generation of electricity from renewable sources.
The trainer will cover all facets of electrical engineering, including the latest maintenance techniques, and guidelines and rules that ensure the sustainable and safe operation of relevant equipment. Attendees will learn how to select and size all electrical equipment. They will also learn how to specify the main maintenance activities required for all electrical equipment. In addition, the course will cover thoroughly all the compliance concepts associated with electrical equipment.
The course leader relies on a highly interactive training method to enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all the attendees gain a complete understanding of all the topics covered. The training environment is highly stimulating, challenging, and effective because the attendees will learn by case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught to their own workplaces.
