COURSE OVERVIEW:

In the era of sensitive electronics and high-efficiency power converters, the "Quality" of power is as critical as its "Availability." This course provides a comprehensive technical exploration of electromagnetic disturbances, focusing on the identification of harmonics, transients, and voltage fluctuations. Participants will explore the mechanics of "Waveform Distortion," learning how non-linear loads interact with system impedance to create damaging thermal and dielectric stresses.

The scope of this training addresses the full spectrum of power quality phenomena according to IEEE 1159 and IEC 61000 standards. It covers the technical nuances of "Power Quality Monitoring," focusing on the selection and placement of high-speed analyzers to capture sub-cycle transients. The curriculum provides a detailed focus on the mathematical decomposition of distorted waveforms, ensuring that participants can distinguish between "Source-Side" and "Load-Side" disturbances.

Coverage includes the implementation of advanced mitigation strategies, such as Active Harmonic Filters, K-Rated transformers, and Surge Protective Devices (SPD). Attendees will learn to utilize simulation software to predict resonance points and to conduct "Power Quality Audits" that lead to measurable industrial efficiency gains. By combining metrology theory with practical mitigation engineering, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to protect critical assets from the "Silent Killers" of the electrical grid.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the categories of Power Quality disturbances (Sags, Swells, Transients).
• Identify the sources of "Harmonic Distortion" in industrial networks.
• Utilize "Power Quality Analyzers" to capture and interpret waveforms.
• Calculate "Total Harmonic Distortion" (THD) and "Individual Harmonics."
• Analyze "Voltage Unbalance" and its impact on motor performance.
• Evaluate "Voltage Flicker" and its causes in distribution systems.
• Design "Passive and Active Harmonic Filters" for distortion mitigation.
• Implement "Surge Protection" strategies for sensitive electronic loads.
• Select and size "K-Rated" and "Isolation" transformers.
• Conduct "Grounding and Bonding" audits to resolve noise issues.
• Interpret "Power Quality Reports" according to IEEE 519 standards.
• Perform "Root Cause Analysis" for equipment damage linked to transients.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Electrical Design Engineers, Power Quality Consultants, Plant Maintenance Managers, and Utility Quality Assurance Staff.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
