Quick Course Information

Electrician Training in Kathmandu for Industrial Skills

When you are looking for electrician training in Kathmandu that is not limited to house wiring, the next area to learn is industrial wiring.

Residential wiring typically involves electrical appliances, distribution boards, switches, sockets, and lighting. The electrical work required for industry provides for more advanced systems, including motors, contactors, overload protection, three-phase supply, control circuits, industrial panels, and machine-related electrical systems.

A good industrial wiring program can then be used to develop learners from the beginning of electrical training and knowledge to a more advanced level of technical training.

The instruction at Apex Skills Academy is designed to provide hands-on training in electrical skills, as well as theoretical instruction.

Industrial Wiring and Automation Training: What is it?

Industrial wiring training instruction covers the techniques involved in wiring, connecting, controlling, testing, maintaining, and troubleshooting electrical systems found in factories, workshops, commercial facilities, production sites, and other industrial applications.

The automation part gives learners an introduction to how electrical wiring relates to automated control systems.

In today's industrial world, motors, machines, production, sensors, and other equipment are increasingly controlled by automation. Knowing the basics of automation can then be a benefit to an electrician/technician working around modern industrial systems.

Automation-related learning involves aspects of:

• PLC fundamentals
• The basic concepts of the programming of the PLCs.
• Ladder logic
• Industrial sensors
• Motor control
• VFD fundamentals
• HMI concepts
• SCADA concepts
• Relay-to-PLC control
• Industrial control systems

What you will learn about industrial wiring training

The curriculum should cover the basics of electrics and their applications in industry.

Industrial Electrical Fundamentals

You will develop knowledge of electrical principles required for industrial wiring and maintenance of the following:

• Measuring and using voltage, current, and resistance
• AC and DC electrical systems.
• Alternating Current and Direct Current.
• Power and loads (electric)
• Single-Phase/Three-Phase Systems
• Electrical symbols and diagrams.
• Basic circuit principles
• Electrical safety
• Safe use of electrical tools.

These fundamentals are a steppingstone to the understanding of more complex industrial circuits.

Three-Phase Wiring

Training can cover:

• Three-phase supply

Industrial Automation Training in Nepal

Industrial automation is a process that brings electrical systems and control technology together. Basic automation knowledge will help electricians and technicians to better comprehend modern industrial machinery and automated production systems.

The automation part of the training can be used to introduce the following concepts:

PLC Basics

A programmable logic controller, or PLC, is an industrial control device that is used to automate machines and processes.

Students will learn the fundamentals of the relationship between:

• The data enters the PLC logic, which is then output to the system.
• This is the basis for the understanding of automated control systems.

PLC Programming Concepts

This may include introducing learners to:

• PLC hardware
• Inputs and output
• Ladder logic
• Basic programming concepts
• Timers
• Counters
• Motor control logic
• Troubleshooting PLC-based circuits

Sensors and Actuators

All industrial automation relies on devices that can sense conditions and manipulate devices.

Some fundamental concepts are

• Proximity sensors
• Limit switches
• Push buttons
• Industrial sensors
• Relays
• Contactors
• Motor control outputs

VFD Training

The speed and operation of an AC motor is controlled with a variable frequency drive (VFD).

Introducing training in VFD:

• What a VFD does
• Motor speed control
• Basic VFD connections
• Start/stop control
• Frequency adjustment
• Motor protection concepts
• Basic troubleshooting

This provides a valuable link between conventional motor control and more recent industrial automation.

HMI and SCADA Concepts

If incorporated into the actual syllabus, learners can also be introduced to the concepts of HMI and SCADA.

A Human Machine Interface (HMI) gives operators the ability to communicate with machines and to see what is going on in the machine.

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) is a system used to monitor and control industrial processes.

Industrial Automation in Nepal

The increasing use of industrial automation equipment such as PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, sensors, VFDs, and automated motor control systems is making industrial automation key in the factories. These technologies are important for electricians and technicians to grasp as they progress from basic electrical to more complex industrial automation positions.
