Variable Frequency Drives and Electric Motor Control

THIS 2-DAY VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE TRAINING COURSE COVERS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS RELATED TO THE PROPER INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

This Variable Frequency Drive training course introduces the student to the world of variable frequency drives and their applications in industrial plants and commercial buildings. This electrical training course will introduce students to the upstream and downstream issues involved with variable frequency drives (VFDs) and the reasons for their application in controlling the rotational speed of motors and other electrical equipment. While most control circuits used in industrial or commercial applications still use mechanical operating systems, the application of VFD’s is increasing as a way to reduce power consumption and other operating costs.

This course will provide an overview on the Distribution System from the Point of Common Coupling (Incoming Utility Power Connection Point) right down to the connection location of the motor(s). The student will be made aware of all the installation guidelines needed to ensure a successful installation of VFDs.

Transformer Testing and Maintenance

THIS 2-DAY TRANSFORMER TESTING AND MAINTENANCE TRAINING COURSE COVERS THE TESTING AND MAINTENANCE OF POWER TRANSFORMERS AND AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT.

Transformer testing and maintenance training is crucial since they are the key link in any power distribution system and likely the least understood. With an understanding of the construction and maintenance of transformers, you will be able to make informed decisions about the performance and operation of this costly piece of equipment. This transformer testing and maintenance training course provides a comprehensive overview of electrical transformers found in utility and industrial power systems.

This course is designed for those involved in the installation, operation and maintenance of electrical power systems. The is a fundamental course covering basic transformers theory, applications, construction, maintenance, and testing. Our instructor will provide the greatest possible exposure to transformer construction and maintenance that can be achieved in two days. Anyone who works on or near power generation, transmission, or distribution systems should attend this course. Additionally, supervisors, managers, safety personnel, and those responsible for ensuring a safe work environment should attend this course.

Electrical Grounding Training For Industrial Power Systems

THIS COMPREHENSIVE ELECTRICAL GROUNDING TRAINING COURSE IS FOUNDED ON THE LATEST EDITION OF THE NEC/CEC.

This Electrical Grounding training course is founded on the NEC/CEC and is designed to give you the correct information you need to design, install and maintain effective electrical grounding systems in industrial, commercial and institutional power systems.

One of the most important AND least understood sections of the NEC/CEC is the section on Electrical Grounding.

This course will address all changes on Electrical Grounding & Bonding included in the NEC/CEC

The NEC/CEC recognizes materials other than Copper for uses as a Electrical Grounding Conductor in ten different articles of the code. It also addresses corrosion issues in new added Subrule.

There are new Sub rules on Bonding Conductors that bonds fixed equipment. Some other Sub rules have been amalgamated into a new rule. One of the most important changes has been that the new code does not favor “water Pipe” as a grounding electrode. Some other rules have been modified to require alarm indicator installation to indicate a fault on certain systems.

Some other Sections have been changed to be consistent with the rest of the code in particular the Ground Fault Circuit interrupters. Changes have been made to Station Grounding, to meet the maximum permissible Resistance of Station Grounding Electrode. Some of the requirements for driven Ground Rods were deleted, to be consistent with NEC/CEC standards.

Protective Relay Training For Industrial and Commercial Power Systems

THIS 2-DAY PROTECTIVE RELAY TRAINING COURSE PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL POWER SYSTEM PROTECTION. RELAY TECHNICIANS, SYSTEM PROTECTION ENGINEERS, CONSULTANTS, AND ENGINEERS AND TECHNICIANS WORKING IN SYSTEM PROTECTION SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE.

The Protective Relay training course is an intensive course designed to give students a firm grasp of electrical relay protection schemes, methods and technologies. Students will learn the basics of relay protection combined with hands-on, realistic training on actual relays. Students will understand applicable NETA protective relay testing standards, what test result information should be recorded, and what hand tools are necessary for proper protective relay adjustment and calibration.

Protective Relay Training Course subjects include: relay test procedures and principles for different types of protection and manufacturers of relays, completion of test documentation including pass/fail determination, and different usage of relay software. Familiarization with different protective relay test sets and software is explained, as well as single phase and three phase testing and associated connections. Examples of relay coordination and application of protective relays for power flow and motor protection using electromechanical, electronic and microprocessor protective relays are examined.

NEC Training

NEC TRAINING IS INTENDED TO DO A LOT MORE THAN INSTRUCT ABOUT WHAT CHANGES HAVE TAKEN PLACE TO THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. UNDERSTANDING THE NEC IS MORE THAN MEMORIZING RULES AND CHANGES. IT IS ALSO ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE RATIONALE BEHIND THE RULES.

Our NEC Training course teaches electrical professionals the effective application of the National Electrical Code through an improved understanding of the intent of the rules. Also, our course will instruct electrical professionals on how to access and navigate through the NEC in a cost-efficient manner, resulting in better electrical inspections.

National Electrical Code is the basis for all State codes across the USA. Most States adopt and meet the rules set out by the NEC, without changes, while other States add their own amendments. You need to know both the national and specific State electrical code differences.

We can create a unique customized course, designed for all levels of electrical professionals by one of America’s leading experts in industrial, commercial, institutional and residential electrical installations, as well as the business of conducting electrical inspections.

Our NEC training workshops not only offers updates on the latest code changes, but we also include a way to understand what the rules are and how to access each area of the code with ease. Some people spend endless time searching for the rules that they need. This education program will teach what you need to know, quickly and accurately. Our instructor will demonstrate how to find the answers you need in a few easy steps. You will find the answers easily and correctly with our training system.

This NEC Training course is designed to be an interactive, problem-solving, learning environment for delegates of all disciplines. Instructor-led calculations will determine minimum conductor sizes and maximum overcurrent ampacities for various loads as well as maximum overload settings for AC motors. Participants are encouraged to bring a calculator to the seminar in order to actively participate in the exercises.

The positive outcome of this training is to improve the quality of installations and to pass electrical inspection with fewer deficiencies. It means working more efficiently and productively, saving time, energy, and money, which is a great credit to everyone working in the industry.
