Industrial Electrical Systems – QQI Award (Minor) Level 6
Overview
The Industrial Electrical Systems course offered by TECHNOTRAINING leads to the QQI Level 6 6N5377 Minor award. It is one of eight modules needed to complete the 6M5154 Maintenance Skills Technology major award.
Programme Description
The course develops the skills required by industrial maintenance technicians to safely diagnose and repair faults in electrically controlled production equipment. Learners must first understand the correct operation of electric circuits and electrical components and then by navigating schematics, using good logical thinking and skillful test strategies, they will be able to narrow to the root cause It enables maintenance staff to be effective in the use of preventative and corrective maintenance and service strategies when working on modern production systems and components. We offer a uniquely the practical course focused on replicating real-life production issues to create
optimum skills transfer to job performance.
We can customize this course for clients incorporating application-specific drawings.
Who should attend?
The course is ideally suited to industrial maintenance personnel who would like to increase their electrical troubleshooting skills. The course is for anyone who has a need to work with electrical systems in their workplace. It is geared towards non-electrical staff to enable them to carry out repairs and replacements safely, but electrically trained personnel will also find opportunities to add to their troubleshooting skills.
Correct diagnosis of electrical systems faults saves time and money in the long run.
Effective troubleshooters add great value to the organization they work for. Learning to work safely with electrical equipment is central to the course and qualification means that you have demonstrated your competence as required by Health and Safety legislation.
This internationally recognized qualification will present opportunities to work in diverse areas within the manufacturing environment carrying out the diagnosing and repair/replacement of components.

Objectives
To enable maintenance staff to be effective in the use of preventative and corrective maintenance strategies when working on modern industrial electrical systems and components. At the end of the Industrial Electrical Systems course the participants will be able to:
- Test electrical systems to narrow down a problem area.
- List electrical hazards when testing live systems and list ways to minimize hazards.
- Use electrical schematics to navigate a system effectively.
- Set up and troubleshoot a range of automation sensors.
- Carry out LOTO procedures correctly.
- Describe the operating principle of fuses, MCBs, and RCDs. Competently use multi-meters and grip-on to test systems .
- Test 3-phase motor circuits controlled by contactors and overloads.
- Demonstrate how to troubleshoot a range of common faults on work-based technology.
- Test and fault find electrical actuators including 3-phase motors, solenoids, and coils, DC motors.
