CONTROL PANEL DESIGNING

OVERVIEW

The course has been designed to familiarize Electrical & Maintenance Engineers with the many different aspects associated with the Design, operation and maintenance of Control Panels. Where possible, application specific exercises, actual drawings and programs listings are used to allow the students to gain the greatest possible benefit from the course.
The this course has been designed as a “easy-to-design guide” for selection of electrical control components in control panels used in industrial machinery applications
