(Page 1 of 4)

Training Proposal Overview of Training The objective of the training programme is to familiarize with Principles of Electricity, Electrical definitions, Electrical equipments, various electrical instruments, critical components usage, and the electrical safety operation of electrical equipments Special attention will be paid to both safety standards and functionality of the electrical equipment. The participant will be issued handouts (training material) as a reference material at the beginning of the class. It is highly recommended that the details included in the handouts be studied carefully as only then they can fully comprehend the Airconditioning systems and equipment. Training methods The training methodology will be lectures in conjunction with multimedia slide presentations (overhead projector or digital multimedia projector) and videotapes. The course outline is given below, Wires, cables and general Electrical Accessories: Wires and Cables: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. viii.
