Course overview:
Earthling is an integral part of any electrical system. Properly selected earthing equipment will accomplish many desirable objectives, such as:
- Improving the system operating characteristics.
- Providing a source of earth fault current relaying.
- Reducing personnel hazards.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and an up-to-date overview of earthing, bonding, lightning and surge protection of electrical and electronic systems & equipment. It covers the recommended design and installation practices for earthing and bonding; the earthing for building electrical systems; the typical rules to be applied for the electrical and electronic systems & equipment; and the earthing and noise control.
Course Objectives:
At the end of the course, the participants will be able to:
- Apply and gain an in-depth knowledge on earthing, bonding, lightning and surge protection of electrical and electronic systems & equipment
- Implement the recommended design and installation practices for earthing and bonding
- Practice earthing for building electrical systems and determine the typical rules to be applied for the electrical and electronic systems & equipment
- Apply earthing and noise control and detect electrical faults on equipment
- Identify the various applications of earthing and bonding and emphasize the need for a lightning protection system
Discuss surge and transient protection and carryout power conditioning

IN HOUSE AND ONLINE TRAINING
While both In-House and Online training can present with cost-effectiveness and time-efficacy, there are some very specific differences between in-house courses and those based online.
The demand for additional courses by individuals or groups of people is increasing. Still, it depends entirely on the preferences of a person what type of training he or she wants to receive. Online courses and in-house training carry some similarities but they are considered to exhibit some very pivotal differences too. Despite that, both types of learning can be really beneficial for attendees.
