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.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify harmonic distortion and other noise sources in information systems.
- Determine and specify the correct transformer K-factor.
- Identify relevant international and U.S. specifications addressing power quality.
- Calculate the effects of adding computers, UPS systems, and motors to existing information-system facilities.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 15 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
