PRACTICAL WORKSHOP
Experience
Practical skills form an important part of the Control Panel Safe Access & Overload Resetting Course.
Delegates apply the principles covered during the training to the identification of components within an electrical control panel before developing practical experience in safely resetting an overload.
Combining electrical safety knowledge with practical application helps delegates understand not only how to undertake the task, but also the hazards and safety considerations associated with accessing electrical control panels.

WHAT YOU WILL
Learn
Rather than simply showing delegates how to reset an overload, the course develops the underpinning electrical knowledge and safety awareness required to understand the task and its associated risks.
Electrical Principles
Develop an understanding of fundamental electrical principles, including:
» Voltage
» Current
» Resistance
Electrical Safety
Develop an understanding of:
» The dangers associated with electricity
» AC and DC voltage levels
» Appropriate action following an electric shock
» An overview of the Electricity at Work Regulations
AC Motors & Motor Starters
Develop an understanding of:
» AC motor operation and characteristics
» Direct-on-line (DOL) motor connections
» Motor starter principles
» Components associated with motor control
Control Panel Components
Develop practical experience in:
» Identifying components within an electrical control panel
» Recognising overloads and associated components
» Safely resetting an overload
Safe Overload Resetting
Develop the ability to recognise and understand the function of common components including:
» Fuses
» Contactors
» Overloads
CONTROL PANEL SAFE ACCESS
and Overload Resetting
Develop the Skills to Safely Access Control Panels & Reset Overloads
Electrical control panels contain components and electrical supplies that can present serious hazards to personnel without the appropriate knowledge and training.
MCP Technical Training's Control Panel Safe Access & Overload Resetting Course provides focused, practical control panel training for non-electrical personnel who may be required to access an electrical panel and reset an overload as part of their role.
Over one day, delegates develop an understanding of fundamental electrical principles, electrical safety, AC motors and motor starters, together with the function of common control panel components including fuses, contactors and overloads.
Practical activities provide delegates with experience in identifying components within an electrical panel and safely resetting an overload.
Delivered on site at your organisation, the course provides a focused way to develop the knowledge and practical skills required for this specific workplace activity.
WHY LEARN SAFE CONTROL PANEL ACCESS
and Overload Resetting
Resetting an electrical overload may appear to be a relatively straightforward activity, but accessing an electrical control panel without appropriate knowledge can expose personnel to electrical hazards.
For organisations where non-electrical personnel may need to undertake this activity, appropriate training can help them understand the risks involved, recognise the components they are working with and follow the correct procedures.
The course introduces the fundamental principles of electricity and electrical safety before developing delegates' understanding of AC motors, motor starters and common control panel components.
Delegates then apply this knowledge through practical activities involving component identification and overload resetting.
IS THIS COURSE
Right for You?
The Control Panel Safe Access & Overload Resetting Course is designed for non-electrical personnel who may be required to access electrical control panels and reset overloads as part of their role. It is particularly suitable for:
» Machine Operators
» Production Operators
» Process Operators
» Manufacturing personnel
» Facilities personnel
» Maintenance personnel without an electrical background
» Employees required to reset electrical overloads
» Organisations looking to develop appropriate first-line technical capability
No previous electrical background is required.
WHAT WILL YOU
Be Able to Do?
By the end of the course, delegates will have developed greater knowledge and confidence in their ability to:
» Understand fundamental electrical principles
» Recognise the hazards associated with electricity
» Understand AC and DC voltage levels
» Understand appropriate action following an electric shock
» Recognise basic AC motor arrangements
» Understand direct-on-line motor connections
» Recognise fuses, contactors and overloads
» Understand the function of key control panel components
» Identify components within an electrical control panel
» Safely reset an overload
ASSESSMENT
and Accreditation
Throughout the course, delegates develop their understanding through a combination of theoretical learning and practical activities.
Practical activities include identifying components within an electrical control panel and safely resetting an overload.
Successful completion of the Control Panel Safe Access & Overload Resetting Course leads to an MCP Technical Training Certificate.
