Introduction to Power Quality Analysis
Credits: 3 PDH
PDH Course Description:
Power quality is a critical aspect of the electrical supply that impacts the performance and reliability of electrical systems and the devices connected to them. It refers to the stability and consistency of the electrical voltage and current waveforms supplied to consumers.Power quality issues can manifest in various forms, such as voltage sags, voltage swells, harmonics, transients, flicker, and more. These issues can disrupt the normal functioning of sensitive electronic devices, motors, and control systems. Understanding the characteristics and causes of these disturbances is fundamental to power quality analysis.
Topics:
- Understanding Power Quality
- Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
- Voltage Sag and Swell, Transients and Surges
- Harmonic Distortions, Flicker, Voltage Unbalance
