Description
This course, focused on power quality concepts, revisits low and high voltage electrical circuits, equipment, systems and loads used in industrial and commercial facilities, and provides an understanding of the power quality issues in power distribution systems. You gain practical understanding what Power quality is, what causes the issues, what is the effect and how to fix them.
After the course participants will be able to apply the concepts in their work situations. They will be able to review the electrical systems and determine what mitigation solutions need to be applied. They will be able to review the substation, distribution systems, motor and other equipment electrical design procedures and their impact on operation of electrical systems.
Course Outline:
- Review of basic electrical concepts
- System design philosophy
- Power factor correction
- Elimination of voltage unbalance
- Harmonics and resonances
- Standards, recommended practices, guides
