Training Description
Industrial Electrical Maintenance Level 1 provides participants with a foundational understanding of industrial electrical principles, safety practices, and circuit operation. Designed for maintenance technicians, operators, and individuals entering industrial maintenance roles, this hands-on course introduces the core concepts required to safely work around electrical systems and prepare for more advanced troubleshooting.
Participants will explore electrical theory, including voltage, current, resistance, magnetism, and power relationships, while gaining practical experience interpreting electrical diagrams and using digital multimeters (DMMs). Through instructor-led demonstrations, calculations, and hands-on activities, participants will develop the skills needed to understand basic control circuits and electrical components commonly found in industrial environments.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Identify common electrical hazards and apply safe work practices.
- Recognize and interpret electrical symbols and diagrams.
- Explain the relationships between voltage, current, resistance, and power.
- Apply Ohm's Law and Watt's Law to solve electrical calculations.
- Differentiate between series and parallel circuits.
- Use a digital multimeter to measure voltage, current, and resistance.
- Calculate voltage divider and current divider values.
- Explain the principles of magnetism and current flow.
- Demonstrate how logic gates influence control circuits.
