Electrical Equipment & Control Systems: Commissioning, Testing & Start-Up of Electrical Systems

Electrical & Power Engineering · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

Equipment readiness for commercial service is proven by testing all its functions under different conditions. ‘Do not believe, until it is proven’ is the key to successful testing and satisfactory operation of electric systems. Equipment is finally proven when it is energized and tested on load during the start-up (first energization).
