COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Industrial Power Systems need a good design. A proper functioning electric power distribution system is vital to safety, maintenance, troubleshooting and the efficient operation of a modern industrial plant. The power distribution system includes high voltage utility tie circuit breakers, main transformers, medium voltage switchgear, distribution transformers, motor control centers, electric motors, variable speed drives, etc. This course is designed to address all aspects of industrial power distribution systems, including system planning, equipment selection, specification and application, system grounding, protection and conformity with electrical code requirements, etc. Typical one-line and relaying diagrams will be discussed for various applications.
Course Duration: 2 Days
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Learn industrial power systems design principals, planning and analysis. This course is designed for electrical power engineers to review, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of power system design, operation and troubleshooting.
Advance your knowledge and skills in system planning, equipment selection, specification and application. Learn and understand important aspects of power distribution system design steps. Improve your knowledge of how to operate your industrial power system efficiently, securely and safely.
COURSE INSTRUCTOR:

A Note About Commercial Content
Don't be fooled by other training experiences available in the marketplace, they are presented by manufacturers and service companies and their electrical safety information sessions are really intended to sell equipment and services. The Electricity Forum strives to present technical, non-commercial training that benefits the student - all you receive is credible, commercially-unbiased education. The Electricity Forum does not endorse or promote any company's products or services. We respect that your time and money is invested in your education.
