Students are led through a series of discussions that introduce them to a variety of industrial components and devices, selection criteria and their applications in industry. Participants are introduced to electrical symbols and circuits and control circuits for common motor starters. Participants are also taken through the crucial subject of electrical protection and safety. At the end of this course, students should be able to:

• Identify industrial control components, know their principles of operation, and characteristics
• Use data sheets to select the right components
• Read and design electrical circuit diagrams
• Know and implement electrical protection and safety

The course is taught in three (3) days with a number of practical exercises to equip students with relevant practical skills.
