Course Summary

This Start-up, Commissioning and Testing of Electrical Systems training course has been designed to provide a clear and perfect understanding of principles of commissioning and electrical installation.

Equipment readiness for a 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 energisation).

Errors missed in previous stages of the project are discovered in the commissioning. During testing, the engineers are exposed to high and low voltages and currents. To prevent injuries and damages, they must be trained to fully understand the processes and plan all steps of the commissioning.

This GLOMACS training course will highlight:

  • Commissioning planning, process and procedures
  • Commissioning inspections
  • Commissioning /maintenance tests
  • Start-up or first energisation
  • The safety aspect of commissioning
