Presentation
In modern buildings and industrial sites, electrical system availability is crucial to business continuity. Failures or inadequate maintenance can cause costly downtime and major risks to people and property. Understanding overall network architecture is therefore essential to anticipate faults and respond effectively to a technical incident.
This course explores technical infrastructure from energy sources to distribution endpoints. Through electrical schematics and concrete cases, you will learn to operate low- and medium-voltage equipment, structure preventive maintenance routines and rigorously apply current safety standards.
By the end of the programme, you will have operational skills to optimise your installations' energy performance. You will be able to implement reliable troubleshooting procedures and ensure site regulatory compliance, supporting safe, sustainable operation.
Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Identify and characterise key components of infrastructure electrical architectures;
- analyse and interpret low- and medium-voltage single-line and multi-line diagrams;
- execute preventive and corrective maintenance procedures suited to equipment;
- apply electrical safety rules and standards (NF C 15-100) during interventions;
- diagnose common faults and organise installation recommissioning;
- propose actions to improve energy efficiency and network reliability;
- manage service continuity through backup sources such as generators and uninterruptible power supplies.
Program
Module 1: Analysing architecture and energy sources
- Mapping electrical networks in commercial and industrial infrastructure.
- Technical operation of power sources: public grid, generators and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
- Low-voltage (LV) distribution fundamentals and medium-voltage (MV) interfaces.
Module 2: Operating installations and distribution systems
- Managing main low-voltage switchboards and distribution boards.
- Configuring and checking switching and protective devices.
- Managing lighting systems and specialised power supplies.
- Operational switching to ensure service continuity during incidents.
Module 3: Structuring and performing maintenance
- Defining a preventive maintenance plan: inspection points and intervals.
- Troubleshooting and corrective maintenance methods for rapid return to service.
- Managing spare parts inventories and monitoring critical equipment lifecycles.
Module 4: Mastering safety and regulations
- Practical application of NF C 15-100 and international IEC standards.
- Compliance with electrical authorisation procedures and isolation/re-energisation protocols.
- Analysing and preventing major risks: electrical arcs, short circuits and fires.
Module 5: Optimising performance and integrating innovation
- Using energy monitoring to detect deviations in installations.
- Identifying energy-saving opportunities and reducing technical losses.
- Integrating new technologies: IoT, smart grids and intelligent building management.
Practical exercises and case studies
- Read and annotate complex electrical schematics to validate circuit understanding.
- Systematically diagnose common faults using incident scenarios.
- Design a detailed maintenance plan for typical commercial or industrial infrastructure.
