Practical Electrical Wiring Standards: IEE BS7671 & IEC 60364
Introduction
Practical Electrical Wiring Standards: IEE BS7671 & IEC 60364
Introduction
There is steady progress towards the harmonization of the electrical wiring standards. This is reflected in the IEC standard 60364 the European Harmonization Document HD384, and the UK IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition, now also known as British Standard BS7671, all of which share a common format.
This course is designed to provide up to date information and training on the current edition of IEE BS7671, Requirements for Electrical Installations. It will consist of in-depth teaching on all aspects of the regulations and their application with many practical examples and sample design calculations. The course includes references to safety, maintenance, inspection, and testing. In addition, it provides a summary of some of the basic principles necessary for a good understanding of electrical installation technology.
Objectives
Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:-
-
- Apply and gain in-depth knowledge on the practical electrical wiring standards of IEE BS7671 & IEC 60364
- Identify the structure and scope of the wiring regulations and emphasize the importance of safety
- Analyze cable protection and demonstrate the selection and erection of equipment
- Explain the earthing arrangements and the special installations or location of electrical wirings
- Illustrate the inspection and testing methodology of electrical wiring and the maintenance considerations
- Review and carryout sample design calculations of an electrical wiring system
Training Methodology
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
Who Should Attend?
This course provides an overview of all significant aspects and considerations of practical electrical wiring standards for engineering managers, maintenance managers, superintendents, supervisors, electrical engineers, instrumentation & control engineers, electrical design staff, maintenance and shutdown planning staff, foremen, and other technical staff.
