Introduction

 

Electrical installations are essential across various sectors such as industries, shopping malls, offices, and residential premises. These installations must comply with the Electricity Act, relevant regulations, and Codes of Practice in Singapore.

This course is designed to equip electricians, technicians, competent persons, and others involved in electrical inspection and testing with the necessary knowledge of proper testing sequences and methodologies.

 

 Course Objectives:

·         Understand the framework of electrical installations in Singapore

·         Learn the principles of electrical safety

·         Gain both theoretical and practical knowledge in inspection and testing

·         Identify non-compliance issues in electrical installations

·         Enhance competency in unit testing, rewiring, A&A work, in Low Voltage (LV) electrical installation inspection and testing

Who Should Attend

This course is suitable for individuals with basic electrical knowledge who are involved in electrical installation, construction, operation, and maintenance work. It is especially relevant for:

·         Electricians, Electrical Technicians, Supervisors

·         Site Personnel involved in inspection and testing of electrical installations at HDB flats, condominiums, landed properties, and office premises etc,

It is also beneficial for:

·         Contractors, building owners, and others interested in gaining a solid understanding of Singapore’s electrical installation requirements, including the regulatory framework, installation standards, and testing procedures

This course is ideal for those who are already doing electrical work but may not fully understand the reasons behind specific practices or testing sequences. It provides both theoretical insights and hands-on experience, helping participants gain greater confidence and competency in safe and compliant electrical installation work.

 

 What Participants Will Learn

This course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of electrical installation principles, testing procedures, and the ability to identify and rectify non-compliances in accordance with Singapore Standards (SS 638).

By the end of the course, participants will:

  • Understand the fundamental principles of electrical installation in line with SS 638
  • Learn the correct procedures and testing sequences required for compliant electrical systems
  • Develop the ability to identify, analyse, and correct installation non-compliances
  • Acquire both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical skills
  • Gain confidence to carry out inspections, testing, and electrical work safely and efficiently

Participants will be well-prepared to manage tasks such as:

  • Unit testing
  • Rewiring and A&A (Addition & Alteration) works
  • Other types of Low Voltage (LV) electrical installation inspection & testing

Upon completion, learners will be able to:

  • Perform inspection and testing procedures confidently and in compliance with safety standards
  • Detect and address common non-compliance issues
  • Apply industry best practices in real-world electrical installation scenarios
  • Work with greater efficiency, accuracy, and regulatory compliance

This course is ideal for individuals looking to enhance their skills and capabilities in delivering safe, compliant, and high-quality electrical work in Singapore’s residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
