Introduction
The course commences with a review of the fundament also power quality and EMC and then examines the procedures for design and installation for earthling and neutral systems. The common problem of noise is reviewed and some misconceptions in this area discussed. Surge and transient protection is then reviewed with practical steps outlined to minimize or even eliminate this problem. This course focuses on harmonics with a comprehensive treatment of correcting harmonic problems. The course is rounded off with realistic case studies covering a wide variety of industries ranging from manufacturing and process control to telecommunications. The material is covered by means of an interactive lecturing style, with plenty of practical examples and real case studies.
Objectives
- Apply recommended practices for power quality
- Prepare for and then eliminate the inevitable harmonic interaction
- Design a good quality earthling system with complete integrity
- Provide for surge and transient protection
- Perform a power quality analysis
- Plan for electrical system compatibility
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Training Methodology
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
