Industrial electrical networks are essential for the national electricity system to function efficiently. Many steps can be taken to ensure these are in a consistent working condition. Protecting earthing methods have proven highly effective at reducing risks and preventing harm to individuals working within the system.
The earthing process is incredibly important. Those involved must be competent in the equipment and tools to be used throughout the process. The type of shielding, cabling, and specific practices used can greatly impact the system's safety and effectiveness. Alongside this equipment, the correct PPE should always be used to guarantee personal safety.
Furthermore, it is crucial to have a strong understanding of external factors such as soil resistance and the electrical grid. These will determine the ideal steps to be taken and how best to implement the necessary protective earthing.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of system & protective earthing within an industrial electric network.
- Review laws and regulations surrounding the health and safety of earthing systems.
- Recognise the consequences of poor protective earthing within an electrical network.
- Identify various risks and hazards associated with the electrical earthing process and implement mitigation strategies.
- Evaluate a range of electrical fault systems and their benefits and limitations.
- Assess what tools and equipment can be best utilised for protective earthing.
- Analyse the structure, principles and maintenance required for systems and equipment earthing.
This course is designed for anyone responsible for protective earthing for an industrial electric network. It would be most beneficial for:
- Electrical Engineers
- Industrial Architects
- Risk Managers
- HSE Officers
- Risk Analysts
- Contractors and Sub-Contractors
- Construction Managers
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review real-world examples of electrical systems with protective earthing to highlight used equipment, influential factors, and potential safety risks.
Through various learning methods, including presentations, video materials, practical demonstrations, and individual activities, participants will be granted ample opportunities to fully develop their knowledge and skills relating to the course content. The practical activities will also allow them to be assessed by the instructors and receive constructive feedback for improvement.
Day 5 of each course is reserved for a Q&A session, which may occur off-site. For 10-day courses, this also applies to day 10
