Electrical Noise Effects On Instrumentation Control Equipment

Introduction

This course provides an understanding of grounding, from both an electrical systems relationship and an instrument loops relationship. The purpose of grounding and electrical systems, grounding for safety, signal noise, signal wiring systems, and methods used to reduce noise.

Objectives

    Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:-

    • Learn the relationship between earth ground to electricity and electrical shock
    • Understand why some electrical systems are connected to earth ground
    • Use the National Electric Code (NEC) as standard for grounding instrument systems
    • Understand how people become part of an electrical circuit and how to avoid it
    • Understand what a ground loop is
    • Compare noise and interference and how they are transmitted
    • Identify instrument signal wiring and conductors
    • Use methods to reduce instrument noise
    • Understand the effects of harmonics on power systems, control systems, and computers

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
