Introduction
Understanding of state-of-the-art power factor improvement equipment, namely power capacitors, is a prerequisite to assuring the economical operation of electrical power systems. This course provides a thorough review of the application of power capacitors and capacitor banks. It covers fundamentals and theory regarding power capacitors and power factor correction, methods of calculation, specifying, controlling, protecting, installing, operating, and maintaining power capacitors and capacitor banks. It includes a detailed analysis of the capacitor application in electrical motor circuits and distribution systems. This course brings participants up to date on the application of capacitors and capacitor banks, answers questions, and gives participants hands-on experience in assessing and solving typical problems.
Objectives
After participating in this course, you will be able to analyze the power distribution system in order to determine the need for improvement of power factor. You will be able to calculate energy cost savings associated with the installation of capacitor bank. You will gain the practical knowledge to be able to specify the size and configuration of capacitor bank and associated auxiliary equipment to suit your specific needs.
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 swell for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
Who Should Attend?
Engineers, technologists and technicians, and other technical personnel from industrial users, power utility industry, municipal utilities, consulting engineering firms, and manufacturers of electrical equipment who are involved with the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of electrical power distribution systems. Also plant managers, project engineers, and all personnel involved in the planning, recommending, selling, and purchasing electrical distribution systems equipment. This course is a must for people involved in electrical power systems that use capacitors in an industrial plant setting, on distribution feeders, and in distribution networks.
