QQI Level 6 Electrical Principles & Troubleshooting RPL

The overall aim of the Electrical Principles and Troubleshooting programme is that learners can safely fault-find on Industrial control circuits. (Excluding 3-phase motor control circuits). This will enable learners to contribute valuable productivity improvements to their employers by diagnosing down-time issues on automated industrial systems as well as suggesting modification and improvements to enhance productivity.

Description

Learner profile:

Learners must have completed the QQI Level 6 Industrial Electrical Systems programme.

What you will get:

At the end of the course the participants will be able to:

  • Explain the operating principle and the circuit conditions causing activation of fuses, Miniature Circuit Breaker, Residual Current Devices and Residual Current Breaker and Overloads and demonstrate techniques for finding the causes of activation.
  • Navigate a standard set of industrial schematics in a manner that enhances their contribution to the task of fault-finding.
  • Correctly diagnose faulty equipment by using a universal systematic approach including test and track, talk to the operator, reproduce the fault, and observe, test and track.
  • Accurately fault-find electrical circuits and components including transformers, contactors, and safety circuits using a Digital multi-meter.

Course Content (Modules)

Module 2.1 Electrical troubleshooting


• Using Simutech Troubleshooting software learners will embed a standardised systematic approach.


• Working with a fully functioning automated process (a machine) which is wired, labelled, and has accompanying schematics learners will practice fault-finding multiple fault variations embedded in the training kit.


Module 2.2


Reading Electrical Schematics - at the end of this learners should be able to:


• Use schematics to see how power is distributed from 3ph to 1ph to DC to safety circuits.


• Interpret symbols and skillfully navigate your way on both US and EU drawings.


• How to use electrical schematics to effectively troubleshoot
