Course Description

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) are used in the power systems in the oil and gas industry to power critical equipment associated with safety and operation of the plant.

The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) course covers information that is required for the proper construction and operation as well as maintenance of UPS and battery banks and also principles of maintenance associated with emergency shutdowns and safety systems.

Upon completion of this course, participants will gain the better understanding of the technologies related to UPS and battery banks within the industry. Having this knowledge will help each participant to develop confidence and professional enthusiasm, therefore increasing their efficiency. The knowledge that participants gained from this course will be further expanded by on-job training and practical experience they will receive throughout the duration of their career.

Course Objectives

Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:

  • Define the roles of the roles of an uninterruptible power supply with regards to the types of loads it should protect
  • Understand the different types and construction of batteries installed in an uninterruptible power supply
  • To appreciate the merits of the fully automated battery monitoring system
  • Identify the components in the uninterruptible power supply
  • Understand the functionalities and operations of each component of the uninterruptible
  • Competence to perform maintenance by switching on to the bypass mode
  • Be able to interpret the alarms and execute troubleshooting techniques
  • To identify the particular type of uninterruptible power supply unit installed at your premises 

Who Should Attend?

This highly interactive course will enable the technicians and maintenance staff to perform correct maintenance procedures and troubleshooting of the UPS and battery systems. This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals, but will greatly benefit: electrical engineers, maintenance technicians, management professionals and project engineers.
