This 4-hour course covers the application of capacitors on electric power systems. The course explains how capacitors are constructed and how they may be used to improve power factors and improve voltage profiles in electric distribution systems.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the function of electrical capacitors.
- Describe how capacitors are constructed.
- Distinguish between “leading” and “lagging” power factors.
- Calculate the proper size of a capacitor bank.
- Explain how capacitors may improve a voltage profile.
- Describe the various methods of switching capacitors.
- Apply capacitors to electric motors.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 25 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
