About the Course

This introductory-yet-comprehensive course is designed specifically for non-engineers who interact with or oversee electrical power systems in industrial, commercial, or infrastructure settings. Participants will learn how electricity is generated, transmitted, and distributed, while also developing familiarity with critical equipment such as transformers, motors, and circuit breakers. The program emphasizes safety, focusing on electric shock and arc flash hazards, grounding systems, and protective devices. Practical sessions cover interpreting single-line diagrams, using testing instruments, and applying maintenance strategies that ensure reliability and minimize downtime. By bridging technical knowledge with accessible explanations, this course enables non-engineers to communicate effectively with electrical teams, make informed decisions about operations, and contribute to safer and more efficient power system management.
