Safety Operation and Maintenance in Electrical Power Supply

Electrical worker inexperience and poor electrical maintenance planning will inevitably result in costly equipment failure, downtime and productivity losses, not to speak of the risk of electrical safety accidents, injury and death. Medium and High Voltage Electrical Maintenance and Testing of electric power systems is essential to the safe operation of any electrical system, regardless of its size, type or industry. This course also deals with safety considerations involved in electrical maintenance procedures for all the components of any electrical system.
