This course is required for new staff in these roles.

Prerequisites

Delegates should already have knowledge and understanding of how to use a multimeter to measure and detect voltage, as well as how to read circuit diagrams.

Course Outcomes

At the end of this course the delegates will understand:

• Procedures for working on or testing electrical equipment
• Electrical isolation procedures for equipment with a working voltage in excess of 175 volts or whose current is not limited to 25 amps or less.
• Retrieval of information from the relevant Departmental Instructions.
• Roles and responsibilities of those involved in electrical work.
