Power Quality Monitoring and Analysis - Houston

This training is recommended for any field service engineer, field service technician, power systems engineer, or power systems automation engineer who performs power quality surveys or collects data for power quality investigations.

At the completion of this course, students will be able to find and pinpoint power quality issues, measure them, and use proven methods for correcting them.

This course teaches engineers and technicians how to diagnose power quality problems and perform measurements of sags, swells, voltage transients, harmonic distortion and voltage flicker. There will be hands-on practice using a variety of popular models of portable and panel-mount power monitors. Students are also encouraged to bring their own analyzers to learn new uses for them in our Power Systems Experience Center.

• Power quality fundamentals - disturbances, harmonics, transients, grounding, example waveforms, equipment tolerances, ITIC, IEEE 519-2014, and IEC standards
• Techniques for identifying and analyzing power quality problems
• Actual case studies and their real-world solutions
• Build your own equipment tolerance diagram
• Monitoring transients, subcycle disturbances and flicker
• Monitoring harmonics
• Evaluating power quality problems using power monitor data
• Special considerations for making measurements in high-resistance grounded distribution systems and delta-wye power transformer circuits

Bring your laptop. All other classroom supplies will be provided. This program will be taught by engineers of the EESSD Power Systems Engineering and Performance Power groups.

Please do not wear open toed shoes or loose clothing that can get caught on equipment in the lab spaces.

Safety:

Our labs are working labs, as well as training and testing spaces. Equipment may or may not be energized with control voltages as well as three phase power. We ask that you do not open or operate any equipment within the facility without discussing with your host. Eaton staff will provide you with information on gathering points, as well as exit paths at the start of you event.

In addition, Eaton can customize training specific for your organization on a variety of other topics. To learn more visit www.eaton.com/electricalworkertraining or email [email protected].
