• Understand how a lock and tag system can be used to make an electrical system safe
• Learn how to safely energise an electrical system for the first time
• Understand the different types of electrical fault
• Understand the difference between balanced and unbalanced loads

When you have finished this course you will be understand how an electrical system can be designed for any construction site.

The course will go into detail on the following areas :-

• Introduce the principles of operation for a site electrical system, why they need to be designed in a certain manner to achieve a system that is safe,durable & cost effective.
• Look at the key elements of the electrical system including the generation and distribution systems, grounding, residual current devices & cabling
• Show how a lock and tag system can be used to make the system safe for all users.
• Show how to size electrical cables based on the current carrying capacity and volt drop.
• Providebasic guidelines of how to size circuit breakers & generators

The course consists of short videos on each key subject with questions provided at the end of each section to test your knowledge.
