Course Description: 

This industrial electrical training course is a hands-on basic electrical theory seminar that will provide the student with a thorough introduction to AC and DC theory, electrical circuits, and drawings. Students will gain knowledge of electrical equipment construction, operation, and application in industry. This seminar will be extremely helpful to individuals who are just beginning a career in electrical work, or who require a basic knowledge of electrical principals and equipment to better their primary responsibilities.

This seminar is a good review for plant electricians and is an excellent choice for cross-training plant mechanics.

Important note for supervisors:
This basic industrial electricity seminar is excellent in it's present form, however, many of our customers have used this seminar as a starting point to developing a full custom specific skill objective cross-training seminar. After attending this seminar supervisors can choose which topics to add, emphasize, or omit which maximizes training relevance, return on the training dollar, and the highest possible level of skill upgrade.

For example, it may be advantageous and desirable to train and qualify mechanics to reconnect a 3-phase motor thereby reducing the reliance on electricians during a simple motor replacement. Mechanics can be trained on basic 3-phase motor and control theory including hands-on 3-phase motor connecting, hands-on safe and proper digital multimeter usage (for testing the presence of voltage), electrical safety per OSHA mandates, choosing proper PPE, and how to put on PPE, all usually in a 5-day onsite seminar. Be sure to contact us to discuss this concept before you buy your training anywhere else.
