Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems

This Electrical Engineering training course will offer a manual to each participant. The presenter will outline and discuss the topics using computer displays, videos and PowerPoint presentations. The training course is designed to have an interactive format to maximize delegate participation. Questions and answers are encouraged throughout and at the daily sessions. Needs-Based case-studies and examples will be discussed in problem-solving workshop sessions.

The training course will elaborate on the similarities and between the static and dynamic uninterruptible power systems. This will include the types and care of batteries

At the end of this training course, participants will learn to:

• Understand the different static UPS topologies
• Comprehend the importance of continuous power supply for critical and sensitive loads during power outages
• Analyse the characteristics of batteries
• Understand the operations and construction of the dynamic UPS or the diesel rotary UPS
• Appreciate the merits of battery monitoring systems and power quality

The technicians and maintenance staff will be able to comprehend the types, construction, operations, function of UPS and batteries. This will enable them to carry out effective maintenance activities.

This Gulf Rowad training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Electrical Engineers
• Maintenance Technicians
• Electrical Supervisors
• Engineering Professionals
• Project Engineers

Organisational Impact

Upon completion of the training course, the organizational impact would be:

• Technical training and up-skilling to improve and realise the full potential of a competent workforce
• Productivity increase through minimisation of project time acceptance / design and testing
• Identification for opportunities for improvements due to deep understanding of the presented state-of-the-art UPS and battery technologies
• Networking of personnel with technology leaders and other engineers and technicians with substantial field experience
• Attitude change of workforce, as continuous follow up of new technologies and their up taking could otherwise create a workforce with high resistance to change due to lack of understanding
• Ensure safety practices are adhered when carrying out maintenance activities

Personal Impact

On successful completion of this training course, delegate will be able to:

• Understand the basis for the use of a UPS
• Understand Critical Load Applications
• Have an appreciation of Power Problems
• Be prepared to review the installation and maintenance requirements of a UPS and Stand-by power installation
• Be ready to improve reliability by improving the resilience of an electrical installation
