Power Quality Training Course - Stockton-on-Tees

Learn how to identify Power Quality issues using test equipment and develop strategies to mitigate them.

This comprehensive training course is a City & Guilds Accredited Programme, which provides knowledge and practical skills of Power Quality measurement such as how to monitor and manage Power Quality issues in electrical power systems and how to use and interpret a Power Quality analyser.

Participants will gain knowledge of topics such as Electrical theory, Power Quality surveys, harmonic distortion, power factor, and transient overvoltage, among others.

Course Details

Participants learn how to identify power quality issues using test equipment and develop strategies to mitigate them. You should be interested in discovering the consequences of poor energy quality, especially in systems sensitive to electronically induced effects.

This Power Quality Training course, based in Teesside and delivered at our specialised High Voltage Training Centre, covers key technical subject areas.

1. Typical Power Quality measurement equipment
2. Power Quality Standards
3. Power Quality measurement parameters
4. Typical connection/configuration arrangements
5. Understanding the hardware/ components
6. Downloading the Power Quality Analyser measured data (Wi-Fi, USB & Remote Access)
7. Analysing the data and creating a report and standard compliance checks

The course will teach the understanding of hardware/components measured data analysing compliance checks voltage and high-speed harmonics using Power Quality Analysers.

This comprehensive two-day training course is designed to equip participants with in-depth knowledge and practical skills. Over the duration of the course, the following key areas will be covered:

Day 1

• Introduction to Power Quality
• Power Quality Standards (IEC 61000 Series, EN 50160, CBEMA, ITIC, Harmonics Theory)
• Voltage & Current Harmonics & Direction
• Voltage Disturbances
• Current Inrush
• High-Speed RMS Chart Recording
• Loads that generate harmonics
• Effects of harmonics
• Sample Standards Compliance Report

Day 2

• Power Quality Surveys
• How to use a Power Quality Analyser
• Harmonic Measurement and Standards
• Solutions to Harmonic Distortion
• Causes of unbalance
• Voltage Fluctuations – Flicker, RVC

To attend this course, you should be an electrical engineer or technician with prior electrical experience, ideally in the use and operation of electrical, high voltage systems, power systems and their associated equipment, and the methods used to mitigate effects.

Upon the successful completion of this course participants will receive a Certificate of Competency accredited by City and Guilds in Power Quality Analysis. For candidates who decide not to undertake the assessments or are unsuccessful when taking the assessments, you will receive a certificate of attendance instead.

You will be expected to complete a 20 question multi-choice examination and take part in a practical examination during this course.

Lunch is provided along with tea and coffee
