Mike Davis - Electrical Machines Specialist Workshop - 1 Day

COURSE OUTLINE:

The specialist workshop aims to coach attendees on simple electrical machine maintenance and some of the underlying processes that lead to unreliability in electrical machines. Attendees will be provided with the tools they need to describe and identify the functions of electrical machine components, various insulation types in stator and rotor windings, failure mechanisms common to electric machines, and electrical and mechanical tests sensitive to specific failure mechanisms.

The training is presented with a mix of presentation, discussion, and small group (4 to 5 participants) practical hands on exercises.
Topics include:

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

UNDERSTANDING THE FUNCTIONS OF ELECTRICAL MACHINE COMPONENTS: Upon completion of this training course, attendees will have a clear understanding of the various components that make up an electrical machine, including stator and rotor windings, and their respective functions:
IDENTIFY INSULATION TYPES IN STATOR AND ROTOR WINDINGS: Attendees will gain knowledge on the different types of insulation used in stator and rotor windings, as well as how to identify and distinguish between them.
RECOGNISING COMMON FAILURE MECHANISMS IN ELECTRIC MACHINES: This course will equip attendees with the ability to identify and understand the common failure mechanisms that affect electrical machines. This knowledge will be valuable in diagnosing and correcting issues that arise during maintenance.
APPLICATION OF ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL TESTS SENSITIVE TO SPECIFIC FAILURE MECHANISMS: Attendees will learn how to apply both electrical and mechanical tests that are sensitive to specific failure mechanisms in electrical machines. This knowledge will be essential in detecting issues before they become critical thus, ensuring the reliability of machines.
DEVELOPING SKILLS IN SIMPLE ELECTRICAL MACHINE MAINTENANCE: Through this training course, attendees will develop practical skills in the maintenance of simple electrical machines. This will include knowledge of proper maintenance procedures, use of tools and equipment, and safe work practices.

BUSINESS BENEFITS:

Significantly reduce costly electrical machine failures at your plant.
Reduce unexpected machine failures by coaching your staff in today's most effective inspection, test and maintenance procedures
Change the way electrical machinery staff think about electrical machines and continuously build plant knowledge
Provide peace of mind with a safe working environment ensuring your team have the right knowledge.
