Course Overview:

The QQI-accredited Industrial Electrical Safety and Systems is a part-time course, delivered over 5 days in class (1 day per week) with online blended supports and an exam in week 6.

This Industrial Electrical Training Course aims to turn out technicians with a knowledge of industrial electrical engineering and the skills needed to specify, install, test, and validate electrical and control systems and their operations in a safe manner.

The Industrial Electrical Training Course will build the theoretical and practical aptitude of the learners and introduce them to key relevant technologies and knowledge necessary for employment in the industrial electrical sector.

The learners will gain a broad technical knowledge in the core discipline – electrical engineering and will be provided the theoretical and mathematical basis for these systems demonstrated through practical application.

Completion of the training course will allow them to understand the electrical maintenance systems and safety required in the manufacturing sectors.

Learning Objectives:

On successful completion of this module, learners are able to:

1. Recognise the safety standards associated with working with electrical circuits and understand how to use electrical test equipment correctly.

2. Appraise, apply the principles, and perform calculations on AC and DC electric circuits.

3. Apply power calculations to electrical systems and understand the effects on transmission and distribution of electrical power in Ireland.

4. Describe the operation, configuration and testing of AC induction motors, interpret electrical drawings and build a basic electrical circuit.

Course Outline

All training, both theory and practical, will run in-class rooms/workshops.

• Day 1 will aid the learner in understanding electrical fundamentals with practical tasks to aid understanding of theory:
• Day 2 will review the AC power with practical's to aid understanding of theory:
• Day 3 will review transformer and motor theory with practical tasks such as measurement and testing to aid understanding.
• Day 4 will introduce the learner to electrical drawings and the operation and testing of control and power circuits. This day involves significant practical tasks such as building various electrical circuits commonly found in industry.
• Day 5 will further build on safety requirements outlined and implemented throughout the course.
• Day 6 a proctored closed book exam
