Pemeriksaan & Pengujian Electrical Grounding system

Background & About the Course

The inspection and testing of electrical grounding systems are vital for any building and its equipment. Neglecting the maintenance of grounding systems can lead to severe damage from lightning strikes, resulting in equipment failure and even fires. In capital-intensive industries such as refineries, oil and gas, petrochemicals, and tank yards, lightning damage can lead to significant financial losses and production interruptions.

Additionally, the risks to personnel, including minor and serious injuries or fatalities, medical costs, and recovery expenses for the entire production system, can be substantial. All these hazards and losses can be mitigated by enhancing the knowledge and skills of all involved through this training.
