Course description
The "Advanced Electrical System Testing and Maintenance" course, offered since 1981 by the Canada Training Group, is an intensive five-day program designed to enhance the skills of industry professionals in maintaining a wide variety of electrical equipment. With a significant emphasis on hands-on learning, the course allocates 80% of its duration to practical training in Lab 1, a mobile electrical training center specifically equipped for electrical equipment maintenance. This immersive approach is complemented by classroom sessions to ensure participants gain a comprehensive understanding of commissioning, inspecting, testing, troubleshooting, and maintaining electrical systems, including medium voltage.
The lab is equipped with an array of electrical equipment such as three-phase transformers, motors, circuit breakers, and cables, allowing participants to conduct in-depth analyses. Each pair of students is provided with their test specimens, fostering a detailed and hands-on learning experience. Unique to this program is the option for customized training that incorporates the client's own equipment, offering a tailored learning experience directly applicable to their operational needs.
