City and Guilds Motor Principles

Normally taken as an extension to the three-day Basic Electrical course, this course focuses on the theory and practical issues related to electrical motors.

Companies intending to task non-electrical personnel with routine electrical duties on low voltage electrical equipment and systems will find it particularly useful.

It’s also ideal as a stand-alone or independent course for those requiring specific information and training relating to the basic electrical maintenance of motors, control devices and associated accessories.
