The British Academy for Training and Development offers a course on the planning and maintenance of electrical distribution systems. An electric motor, as is well known, is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to perform a specific task. It operates on the principle of an electric current passing through a wire that intersects with a magnetic field, causing it to rotate around an axis. Electric motors rely on electromagnetic forces to generate the necessary power to drive machines or mechanical equipment. However, motors can experience various faults, such as inability to move, overheating, slow rotation during operation, or even severe mechanical oscillation, particularly in synchronous alternating current motors, among other issues.

In this course, we will learn about the planning and maintenance of electrical distribution systems, how to detect and repair motor faults, and highlight some types of motors. Thus, the British Academy for Training and Development provides a detailed training course on electrical distribution systems, as well as electric motors and their types, based on the type of motor concerning the electrical current flowing through it.
