Power Quality Monitoring and Analysis - Pittsburgh

Duration: 2.5 days

Location: Pittsburgh, PA

Credits: 2.0 CEUs

Target audience

This training is recommended for any field service engineer, field service technician, power systems engineer, or power systems automation engineer who performs power quality surveys or collects data for power quality investigations.

Learning objective

At the completion of this course, students will be able to find and pinpoint power quality issues, measure them, and use proven methods for correcting them.

Abstract

This course teaches engineers and technicians how to diagnose power quality problems and perform measurements of sags, swells, voltage transients, harmonic distortion and voltage flicker. There will be hands-on practice using a variety of popular models of portable and panel-mount power monitors. Students are also encouraged to bring their own analyzers to learn new uses for them in our Power Systems Experience Center.

Course topics include:

• Power quality fundamentals - disturbances, harmonics, transients, grounding, example waveforms, equipment tolerances, ITIC, IEEE 519-2014, and IEC standards
• Techniques for identifying and analyzing power quality problems
• Actual case studies and their real-world solutions
• Build your own equipment tolerance diagram
• Monitoring transients, subcycle disturbances and flicker
• Monitoring harmonics
• Evaluating power quality problems using power monitor data
• Special considerations for making measurements in high-resistance grounded distribution systems and delta-wye power transformer circuits

Note:

Bring your laptop. All other classroom supplies will be provided. This program will be taught by engineers of the EESSD Power Systems Engineering and Performance Power groups.

Arriving at our Training Centers

Gaining Access:

Upon arriving at our training center, proceed to the entrance marked "Entrance 1 (EESSD)". The door to enter the building is locked. Our staff will greet you upon arrival and take you to the appropriate training area. You will be asked to sign in for all events so that we can track building occupants in case of an emergency situation.

What to Wear:

Due to the nature of our training facilities and other events taking place, we ask that you wear business casual (or appropriate PPE if your event requires PPE in lab exercises) while in the facilities. Please do NOT wear shorts, open-toed shoes, or loose clothing that can get caught on equipment in the lab spaces.

Safety:

Our labs are working labs, as well as training and testing spaces. Equipment may or may not be energized with control voltages as well as three phase power. We ask that you do not open or operate any equipment within the facility without discussing with your host. Eaton staff will provide you with information on gathering points, as well as exit paths at the start of your event.
