An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Electrical Instrumentation & Motors
Design, Installation, Operation & Protection in Non-Hazardous & Hazardous Environments
INTRODUCTION
This EuroMaTech highly participative Electrical Instrumentation & Motors training course is designed to provide the participants with the skills to understand how Electrical & Instrument systems are designed, installed and operated in industrial process plants, particularly in the oil and gas, mining and minerals processing and heavy industries, and then expands into electrical motors and their associated motor protection and control systems. A major focus of this EuroMatech training course is how this and other equipment are used and applied in both hazardous as well as non-hazardous environments.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The Electrical Instrumentation & Motors training course is designed to provide a practical insight for personnel who interface and work with electrical systems in the Oil and Gas, Minerals Processing, Mining and Heavy Industries, or work in the engineering consulting industry servicing these clients.
This seminar is specifically tailored to suit those who have a basic to good understanding of electrical principals, and require further knowledge of electrical and instrument systems to more effectively manage their work and where necessary execute multi-discipline projects.
It has a heavy focus on electric motors as they are the main interface between the electrical system and the conversion of electrical energy to mechanical, as well as being important control elements in all processes. Personnel who should attend are:
- Project Professionals and Engineers
- Facilities Engineers
- Process and Chemical Engineers
- Electrical and Instrument Engineers who require additional training as detailed in this course outline.
- Mechanical Engineers
- Maintenance Technicians
The Electrical Instrumentation & Motors training course is also a useful introduction for relatively inexperienced Electrical and I&C engineers (i.e. graduates and the like) to gain an understanding of the practical issues that they will face in their careers.
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The Electrical Instrumentation & Motors training course will combine presentations with interactive practical exercises, supported by video materials, activities and case studies. Delegates will be encouraged to participate actively in relating their particular requirements at their workplace.
There will be adequate time given for group discussion during and at the end of each session, including detailed case studies and anecdotes on based on the subject matter and the facilitator’s own experience in the field.
TRAINING SUMMARY
This EuroMaTech Electrical Instrumentation & Motors training seminar covers a wide range of topics relating to the design, installation, operation & protection of electrical and instrumentation equipment in Non-Hazardous & Hazardous Environments, and has a heavy emphasis on motors and motor control.
It discusses many aspects from the basic principles to the complex application of such systems in large plants and facilities, including their Operation and Maintenance.
This EuroMaTech training course is designed to be beneficial for professionals with both an electrical or nonelectrical / instrumentation background who require a better understanding of IC&E for their work or project execution, as well as graduates in the IC&E field who wish to gain practical knowledge in their field.
