Benefits of Electrical Instrumentation Courses

 


Introduction to Electrical Instrumentation

Electrical instrumentation is a branch of electrical engineering that deals with the measurement of process variables like pressure, temperature, flow, etc within industrial facilities and also the management of equipment for automated control.

The work is usually done by the Instrumentation engineers who measure process variables (such as temperature, pressure, and volume) within an industrial plant by using various measuring equipment to control them.

Areas which we can apply instrumentation and automation

Electrical Instrumentation workers are employed in the following areas:

  • Installation of electrical equipment and wiring systems
  • Maintenance of motors and motor control systems
  • Installation of measurement and control equipment in pharmaceutical and other industries
  • Maintenance of the instrumentation equipment in these industries
  • Sales of instrumentation equipment.

An instrumentation system would be used for monitoring and controlling the pressure/temperature/flow/pH of water, oil, steam, acids, air or food products. The equipment is a combination of electrical/ mechanical components.

Pros and cons of Electrical Instrumentation Course

Pros:

  • After completing the Electrical Instrumentation Course with PMV,you get an opportunity to learn several practical applications with knowledge in this field.
  • Skills learned from this course can be used in other fields and might make learning some other related skills easier.
  • After the Electrical Instrumentation Course, you may land on a advisory/supervisory job role as an Electrical instrumentation technician so there is less chance of hurting yourself during work.
  • You learn how to deal with electrical equipment safely and correctly so that you can keep yourself safe.
  • The wider knowledge base of an instrumentation engineer gives them an edge over mechanical and electrical engineers.

Cons:

  • It takes at least a bachelor’s degree and a Certification in electrical instrumentation, which you can get after enrolling with Project management vision, plus years of apprenticing another electrical engineer/electrician.
  • There is always the risk of hurting yourself with either the tools or the electrical devices.
  • It requires abilities and knowledge with numbers. This is a con only for people who are not particularly skilled or interested in the same.

Electrical Instrumentation Courses by PMV

Project management vision training equips students with the knowledge and practical exposure in instrumentation and process automation and control. PMV courses provide competencies in process and control to select, install, commission, fault find and maintain electrical and instrumentation equipment.

PMV provides UEE50211 – Diploma of Electrical & Instrumentation which opens more doors for the students in areas of instrumentation and control, technical authority and supervisory roles.

UPDATES TO AS/NZS STANDARDS FOR EXPLOSION PROTECTION

Image
  In late June 2022, the new editions of AS/NZS 60079, Standards for Explosive atmospheres were published, along with a new supplement to AS/NZS 60079.10.1.  Part 10.1: Classification of areas – Explosive gas atmospheres  This  AS/NZS 60079.14:2022 : Design selection, erection and initial inspection, revision of the HA design and installation standard is a readoption of IEC 60079-14:2013. The change goes a long way to addressing the usability issues with the 2017 version raised by many in industry.   1.1  This Australian/New Zealand changes to the IEC text are no longer hidden at the back of the document in Appendix ZZ. The changes are shown in each clause near the text they modify. 1.2  New Level of Protection markings are explained (5.4.7):  e → eb  nA → ec  d → db  nC → dc  nL → ic  1.3  Pollution degrees are explained (5.9.1).  1.4  Clarification that cable jointing is permitted (9.6.7).  1.5...

Australian Explosion Protection (Ex) Certification Requirements

Image
  Ex Equipment must comply with clause 4.4 of AS/NZS 60079.14:2017 in Australia. The related equipment, such as zener barriers or galvanic isolators for intrinsic safety, must meet the same standards. Simple apparatus in an intrinsically safe circuit, such as simple switches or resistive elements supplied by a recognised intrinsically safe isolator or barrier, are the only exception.  This post provides a summary of the requirements.  Directly acceptable certification   In most circumstances, equipment having ANZEx or IECEx certification can be used directly in hazardous areas in Australia.  Underground coal mines subject to firedamp (Group I) are subject to additional rules, which typically necessitate a certificate from an Australian certification authority or specific regulatory authorisation. 2.  Certification to other standards   When using equipment with acceptable certification is not practical, equipment with other certification may be used.

Training in Hazardous Area Classification and Design

Image
Training in Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) and Design is comprehensive, covering the understanding, assessment, and mitigation of risks associated with potentially explosive atmospheres in industrial settings. This program delves into various crucial areas: Introduction to Hazardous Areas: Participants acquire insights into hazardous areas, associated risks, and relevant regulations and standards such as NEC, IECEx, and ATEX. Classification of Hazardous Areas: Understanding the classification of hazardous areas based on factors like flammable gases, vapors, liquids, and combustible dust, utilizing zoning systems and classification methods such as the IEC 60079 series. Properties of Flammable Substances: Learning about the characteristics of flammable substances including Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) and Upper Explosive Limit (UEL), and factors influencing fire and explosion ignition and propagation. Equipment Selection and Protection: Participants grasp knowledge about suitab...
