Description
Are you ready to become confident in Electrical Low Voltage (LV) Panel Design, even if you have no prior experience?

This course is yourcomplete step-by-step guideto learning how electrical distribution panels are designed, fabricated, assembled, tested, and commissioned in real-world projects. Starting from the basics, you will gradually progress to advanced concepts, building both the theoretical knowledge and thepractical design skillsrequired in the industry.

Unlike many traditional courses that only focus on theory, this course takes ahands-on approach. You will not only understand the fundamentals of panel design but also practice essential calculations such as breaker sizing, cable sizing, and copper busbar design. You will learn how to prepareBill of Materials (BOMs), developshop drawings, interpretSingle Line Diagrams (SLDs), and apply international standards such asIEC 61439 and NEC.
