2025 Industrial Power Systems Workshop
"To be determined"
Next workshop coming in 2025!
Course Description and Features
This course focuses on the application considerations of the apparatus found in the typical industrial electrical power system. It is important that all of the components of the system be applied properly to ensure the optimum operation, reliability, and safety of the system from the programmable controller to the largest power transformer. The participants will work on example problems based on the concepts discussed in the workshop, with special emphasis on practical system considerations. There will be homework assigned each day. (This course is equivalent to 30 PDH.)
Who Should Attend
Anyone who has engineering responsibilities for designing, operating, and maintaining an industrial power distribution system will benefit from this workshop. The course covers a wide range of subjects, and it will provide valuable information to such people as plant and corporate engineers, utility service representatives, design engineers, and operating and maintenance personnel. A minimum of three years engineering experience is recommended.
