This course is primarily aimed at electrical engineers, technical facility engineers, who want a good grounding and understanding of Power System Harmonics and Implications in building services.
The course takes you through all aspects of harmonics, calculations, and implications on equipment selection, design applications, specifying, and selecting the most appropriate solutions for your building. The course will provide clear concise notes and summary tables for future reference, to use in your daily activities.
Learning Outcomes:
- Better understanding of subject matter and how to design and apply design solutions.
- The course will cover sizing of Transformers, Generators and cables from a Harmonic perspective.
- You will be guided through the process of evaluating the distortion on the sign way and compliance with G5/5 Utility Regulations.
- Overall appreciation of harmonic problems, design mitigation and harmonic calculations and compliance with regulations.
- Modern complex electrical loads like electronic motor control, rectifier plant, Switch Mode Power, Frequency Inverters, Information Technology Equipment etc, produce considerable harmonics with potential consequential effects on both the current and voltage waveforms. This can result in equipment and associated power system failures. This course details the causes, effects and mitigation and associated regulations.
Harmonic Fundamentals:
- Single & three phase harmonic fundamentals, current & voltage distortion,
- Power factor, four-wire systems, harmonic calculations
- Harmonic Sources
- AC/DC & AC/AC Convertors, including switched mode power supplies, Non-linear equipment, etc.
- Harmonic Effects
- Instant & continuous distortions, flicker, machine vibration & noise.
- Harmonic Mitigation
- Power System design, Power transformer design & Compensation Devices, Factor K and K-Factor transformers
