This training is focused on power quality issues that affects the electrical system’s operations, more importantly when harmonic frequencies and its harmonic current and voltage affect the Distribution System that contributes to losses. The Grid Code requires, commercial, highrise residential buildings, industrial plants, and Utilities to comply within the Standards. The increasing demand and applications of non-linear load in industries nowadays greatly affects the quality of the power system. This program will enhance the knowledge and practices of facility managers, maintenance and technical people at site and more importantly to save energy.

Course Highlights:

  • Power Quality Problems & Solutions
  • Harmonic Distortion & Control
  • Hands-on Training with Power Quality Analyzers
  • Transformer K Factor Rating
