COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Industrial Automation with MCC and VFD Systems. It covers the basics of electrical power systems, power factor, energy efficiency, electrical safety fundamentals and earthing and grounding principles; the control system basics, industrial motors and detailed MCC design and layout; the MCC installation guidelines and procedures, testing, commissioning, routine and preventive maintenance practices and common troubleshooting techniques; and the types of starters in MCCs, protection devices in MCCs and communication and smart MCCs. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the VFD principles of operation, VFD components and design, VFD configuration and programming, VFD protection mechanisms and applications of VFD system; the writing and communication setup, protocols for MCC-VFD communication and synchronization of multiple drives; the role of PLCs in MCC and VFD integration; configuring HMIs for MCC and VFD control; and the real-time monitoring, data logging and alarm and fault management. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the energy-saving strategies with MCC and VFD, power quality issues and mitigation techniques; the electrical and mechanical safety measures, lockout/tagout procedures, risk assessment and emergency shutdown procedures; the advanced features of VFDs and process automation with MCC and VFD; the diagnostic tools for MCC and VFD, step-by-step troubleshooting methodology, and analyzing fault logs and system reports; modernizing existing MCC system and upgrading VFDs for higher performance; the energy efficiency retrofitting techniques and cost-benefit analysis of upgrades; and the industrial automation standards, environmental regulations, electrical codes and certifications and documentation and reporting requirements.
