Inspections of Electrical Installations (2 cr)

Evaluation scale

Pass/Fail

Objective

You can do initial inspections for the electrical installations. Studying in this course requires basic knowledge of electrical engineering. Initial inspections guarantee the good quality of well-designed and implemented electrical installations.

EUR-ACE ENGINEERING PRACTICE
You can plan and implement initial inspections in a systematic and safe manner, as well as analyze and report the results of inspections.

EUR-ACE INVESTIGATIONS
You know how to plan and implement inspections and tests. You will be able to interpret the documentation related to the installations, other input data, measurement results, as well as assess the compliance of the implementation and work in the hardware environment safely and in accordance with good practices.
