ETP 2052 Troubleshooting in Electrical Power Technology

In this course, students are introduced to systematic approaches for diagnosing, isolating, and correcting faults in electrical power systems and equipment. Emphasis is placed on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills while using industry-standard diagnostic tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and clamp meters. Students learn to interpret schematics, apply root cause analysis techniques, and perform corrective actions on simulated and real-world systems. Safety practices, including OSHA and NFPA-70E standards, lock-out/tag-out procedures, and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), are reinforced throughout the course. Hands-on laboratory experiences provide practical application of troubleshooting strategies to prepare students for careers in power generation, distribution, and maintenance.
