Marine Electrical Workshop (MEW)

Electrical knowledge has traditionally been a weak area for most marine engineers. This program has been specifically developed to fill this acutely felt training need.
Course | Updated

Covering advanced aspects of shipboard electrical knowledge, this workshop, conducted Online, provides theoretical information.

Extensive tracing of various different types of electrical circuits of shipboard machinery is carried out. This helps the participant to gain confidence in his ability to trace complex circuits.

Course Objective:To enable the participants to:

  • understand the fundamental concepts of electrical technology.
  • recognize component symbols and their construction, functioning and applications.
  • identify symbols, trace and analyze circuit diagrams and troubleshoot electric systems logically.
  • learn through sharing of experiences amongst participants. 

Duration: 4 days
