Industrial Electrotechnics – Complete Training

This training course has been designed for you!

Guided step by step, you will learn to master the fundamentals of electrical engineering, with support throughout your entire learning journey.

We start from scratch, with no previous knowledge required, using simple components and practical diagrams.
This training course will give you solid foundations so that you can progress towards more complex control and power circuit diagrams.

You will learn how to:

• Differentiate between electric current and electrical voltage.
• State and apply the 2 fundamental electrical engineering formulas (P=U×I, U=R×I).
• Calculate and select the appropriate power strip for the connected equipment.
• Identify the voltage thresholds considered dangerous in low-voltage installations.
• Distinguish between the operation of an NO contact and an NC contact.
• Use a multimeter to measure the continuity of a contact.
• Explain the operation and wiring of a push button and an indicator light.
• Recognise and draw standard electrical engineering symbols.
• Understand the physical principles of the magnetic field generated by a coil.
• Identify the component parts of a contactor and analyse the mechanical movement of its contacts.
• Explain and wire a self-holding circuit.
• Identify, analyse and wire on-delay and off-delay timers.
• Explain alternating-current power supplies using transformers and direct-current power supplies using regulated power supplies.
• Read and interpret a simple electrical diagram.
• Explain the principles of three-phase power used to supply an electric motor.
• Analyse the detailed operation of a power contactor.
• Differentiate between an auxiliary contactor and a power contactor.
• Differentiate between control voltage and power voltage.
• Compare a control circuit diagram with a power circuit diagram.
• Demonstrate why a contactor appears in both the control circuit and the power circuit.
• Calculate and determine the cross-sectional area of electrical conductors.
• Identify and apply the standard colour coding for electrical conductors.
• Classify and select cables according to their characteristics.
• Correctly fit ferrules to electrical conductors.
• Correctly tighten conductors and secure devices to a mounting plate.
• Understand and analyse protective devices: fuses, circuit breakers, thermal relays, magnetic protection devices and thermal-magnetic protection devices.
• Visually identify the protective devices installed inside an electrical enclosure.
• Analyse and understand the differences between short-circuit protection and motor overload protection.
• Identify and explain the 5 types of motor starters.
• Select the components of a motor starter: isolator, fuse, contactor, thermal overload relay and motor.
• Carry out star and delta connections and implement them in practice.
• Perform an insulation resistance test on asynchronous motors using an insulation resistance tester.
• Analyse a star-delta starting circuit diagram.
• Understand machine safety levels and wire a safety module such as Préventa.
• Create a complete electrical diagram using QElectroTech software.
• Design a standardised drawing sheet including a title block, terminal blocks, bill of materials and wire numbering.
• Create power, control and safety circuit diagrams.
• Produce a component layout drawing.
• Analyse the operation of a variable speed drive connected to a motor.
• Create the corresponding control and power circuit diagrams.
• Check electrical continuity using a multimeter and interpret measurements taken on coils.
• Systematically check the wiring before commissioning.
• Use a multimeter to carry out fundamental electrical measurements.
• Carry out the progressive commissioning of a training panel.
• Differentiate between electrical continuity and potential difference.
• Carry out fault-finding with the power switched off, in accordance with BR electrical authorisation.
• Diagnose live electrical faults by measuring potential differences.

No technical skills are required

Each stage is explained clearly through practical demonstrations, useful diagrams and real hands-on exercises.

You will also have access to downloadable resources, quizzes to test your knowledge, practical tips and support to help you stay motivated.
