CWT550: Control Wiring and Termination Course

Duration: 2 Days Classroom or 16 hours Online
Audience:  Electrical Engineers, Control Engineers, Instrumentation Engineers, PLC Technicians, Maintenance Engineers, Electrical Technicians, and Industrial Automation Professionals.
Prerequisites: Basic understanding of electrical concepts and some industrial experience. A 3-year associate's diploma in the electrical or technical field is preferred.
Course Material: Control Wiring and Termination training slides and certificate of completion.

This comprehensive course provides essential knowledge and practical skills for control wiring and termination in industrial applications. The course covers fundamental electrical concepts, safety procedures, and hands-on techniques for proper wiring and termination of control systems. Participants will learn about switches, contactors, relays, motor protection methods, PLC components, and electrical diagrams. The course emphasizes safety protocols, proper grounding techniques, and protection devices essential for industrial electrical installations.

This course is designed to bridge the gap between electrical theory and practical application in industrial control systems. It provides the foundation needed to safely and effectively work with control wiring in manufacturing, process control, and automation environments.

At the end of the course, attendees will clearly understand fundamental electrical concepts and their practical applications in control panel wiring practices. Participants will be able to safely perform industrial control wiring tasks, properly terminate electrical connections, and implement appropriate arc flash and lockout/tagout safety in wiring measures. Attendees will understand how to wire PLC input and output terminals, difference between contactor and relay wiring, and relays in control circuits, implement choosing fuses and overload relays for motor protection schemes, and work with PLC wiring and termination components effectively.

Attendees will be proficient in reading and creating wiring diagrams for control circuits explained and schematics, understand electrical symbols and their meanings, and be able to troubleshoot basic electrical problems in control systems. Participants will have comprehensive knowledge of control wiring safety procedures for electricians, grounding techniques for industrial control panels, and lightning protection devices for industrial control systems to ensure safe control panel electrical installation and maintenance practices.
