Electrical Cable Termination and Distribution Board Maintenance

Loose terminations and neglected distribution boards are a hidden cause of overheating, nuisance tripping and fires on African industrial and commercial sites. This programme builds the practical skills to terminate cables correctly and maintain distribution boards to a safe standard. Delegates learn to prepare and terminate cables, torque connections properly and inspect boards for the heat and damage that signal trouble.
