TARGET AUDIENCE

This course is designed for electrical personnel working in the drilling industry, and is principally aimed at staff employed on drilling rigs, typical of those built in the late ‘70s to mid ‘90s, equipped with integrated generator control and SCR systems, and fitted with the Top Drive System.

COURSE OUTLINE

The course covers the function of the engine actuator, SCR field supply, and Top Drive control system which incorporates the top drive field regulator and the Siemens Simatic Manager S7 PLC system related to the top drive management. Practical work will be undertaken in our SCR training facility which incorporates working 600V generators, RHCC type SCR system, top drive control system, and drilling motors.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

To increase candidates‘ knowledge of the operational practice of their SCR and Top Drive system. The course will expose them to practical scenarios in a realistic environment to increase fault finding and problem solving skills. Our working systems give hands on experience that is difficult to acquire whilst drilling operations are in progress. Candidates who have passed the SCR Drives Control Course Level 1 are eligible to enrol for this course.
