3-Day Power Quality Training

3 Day Power Quality Training

You Can Access The Live Online Training Through Our Web-Based Platform From Your Own Computer. You Can See And Hear The Instructor And See His Screen Live.

You Can Interact And Ask Questions. The Cost Of The Training Also Includes 7 Days Of Email Mentoring With The Instructor.

Power Quality Training - Our 3 day (18 hours) live online instructor-led course is actually a series of three courses:

1. Power Quality Analysis Training - April 24-25, 2023 and October 23-24, 2023 - $499

2. Power Factor Correction Training - April 26, 2023 and October 25, 2023 - $199

 

1. Power Quality Analysis Training - This 12-hour live online instructor-led course is important because power quality and harmonics analysis, measurement, and mitigation of electrical disturbance is no longer an option in our modern electronic society, it is a necessity. The course is designed to help organizations to recognize power quality problems by their symptoms and waveforms and to understand the root causes of electrical power quality problems as well as typical remedies.

Power Quality Analysis Training - April 24-25, 2023 and October 23-24, 2023 - $499

 

2. Power Factor Correction Training - Our 6-hour live online instructor-led course explains the three types of power factor, from a cause and effect basis and then teaches the intricacies of each type along with the methods to improve each power factor. The course demonstrates how to size power factor capacitors for various types of situations and the pitfalls to be avoided. Several real life examples are worked as a group to demonstrate the techniques used to perform analysis of power factor, size power factor equipment and to quantify the expected results and ROI.
