Why is this course unique?
Effective electrical root cause analyses are critical to maintain a high capacity factor (or production factor) in aging facilities. PII’s 3-day Electrical Equipment Failure Mode & Root Cause Analysis course is the only comprehensive course of its kind on the market. Developed over more than 15 years of PII’s internal research and real-world case studies, this course teaches the root cause analysis techniques necessary to correctly diagnose electrical equipment failures. Attendees will learn the 207 possible failure modes of electrical equipment in a typical production facility.
Benefits of this course:
This course enables attendees to diagnose electrical equipment failures with a very high success rate. Based upon the exam scores of past students, it is anticipated that attendees’ root cause investigation success rate is increased from 50% to nearly 100%. Other RCA courses teach only the typical 100 failure mechanisms; PII’s course will increase the student’s knowledge to 1,207 failure modes. It is all inclusive.
