Highly Reliable Electrical Power for Information Systems
In Highly Reliable Electrical Power for Information Systems , you'll learn ...
- Identification of harmonic distortion and other noise sources in information systems
- Means of designing and specifying the correct K-Factor for transformers
- Identification of relevant International and U.S. specifications dealing with power quality
- Actual calculations of the effects of adding additional computers, UPS, and motors to existing IS facilities
Overview
Highly reliable electrical power systems are required to serve critical Information Systems (IS) sites. This course provides an overview of power quality problems, with an emphasis on Information Technology (IT) equipment.
Modern technology's sensitive components present new challenges for plant engineers who design, specify, install, or maintain plants and equipment. SCR and diode rectifiers in computers, copiers, switched mode power supplies, solid-state lighting ballasts, and power conversion sections of adjustable frequency drives increase the need for power systems engineers to thoroughly address harmonic distortion and its role in overall power quality.
