Training in Electrical Switchgear

---

Universal Power Controls, manufacturers of Electrical Control Panels since 1983, offers quality training in Electrical Switchgear at Tumkur, Karnataka. The company has correctly understood there exists a huge gap between industry and educational institutions, as most employees working in the private sector are not having the right qualification for the job they are doing. Academicians are unable to give what industry requires, and this training program is designed to fill this gap, so that the trainee can be fit into any industry in the electrical field.

This training is for all those who want to go in for hard-core electrical engineering line. It is an excellent training for freshers or those who have recently started working and for those who want knowledge on electrical switchgear and application from the basics and on a slower track.

There are regular electrical switchgear training and customised courses for various categories: for fresh persons working in the industry/final year ITI, diploma, BE – Electrical/Electronics, persons from electrical, electronics, instrumentation, departments of engineers, technicians, maintenance persons and persons working in any industry.

Highlights:

• Hands-on shop floor work using real equipment provides the student with sensible training and skills that are immediately useful on the job, which make the trainee perfect and comfortable in handling the electrical switchgear
• Course material is presented in a way that is easy to understand
• Instructors are trained professionals, experienced in field service and troubleshooting, with understanding of the day-to-day problems encountered, and
• Students work in pairs to construct and test lab projects. This facilitates an exchange of information and establishes communication pathways for sharing of ideas.

The training covers four switchgear items: Siemens, L&T, ABB and Schneider. It covers from the basics to the wiring level, along with the trouble shooting. These are the main switchgear used worldwide and if one learns these, then working on any switchgear is not a problem.

What makes this training more effective?

• A very large set up with all the latest switchgear and quality training. A strict control on faculty and planned modules allocated for each trainer to avoid confusion
• Only standardised course for switchgear as the intake of trainees for a course is limited to 20 persons in a batch, which makes a high interaction level and more effective learning
• Use of modern technology aids in training for better impact on the students; the methodology makes things easy to understand and use of multimedia makes it more interesting, and
• Training is half time theory and half time practical. All the students will work hands on the switchgear. Devotes a lot of time for practicals as they are very essential for a student to learn the switchgear wiring effectively. Planned schedules for the full year, which makes it easier to adjust to the time table.
