MEC 416
Industrial Electrical Maintenance for Mechanical Personnel
This course equips mechanical personnel with the knowledge and skills to understand, maintain, and troubleshoot industrial electrical systems and equipment. It bridges the gap between mechanical and electrical disciplines, enabling mechanical engineers and technicians to work safely and effectively with electrical components commonly found in industrial plants, such as motors, control panels, starters, drives, sensors, and switchgear.Participants will gain practical skills in electrical safety, component identification, motor and control system troubleshooting, and preventive maintenance, without requiring prior deep electrical engineering knowledge.
Duration: 5 days
Prerequisites: Basic Knowledge of mechanical systems and safety practices is recommended
