One-Day Training Seminar
Learning Objectives
Attendees will learn how to identify and implement industry best practices for establishing robust electrical systems, with an emphasis on the following applications:
- Grounding and Bonding. Industry best practices and standards compliance for proper grounding of equipment, systems, and sites
- Protection. Protecting sensitive equipment from transient overvoltage events (surges)
- Transformers. Considerations for step-down and isolation transformers
- Power Management. Power management through measurement and monitoring
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for the technical professional working with electronic equipment and electrical power systems for mission-critical facilities such as:
- Data centers
- 911/emergency management centers,
- Tactical operations centers, and
- Communication sites.
A prerequisite for attendance is a basic knowledge of electrical theory including Ohm’s Law.
Course Outline
- Transformer Considerations
- Power Management
- Basics of Grounding
- Grounding Electrode System
- Site Grounding
- Equipment and Enclosure Grounding
- DC Grounding Practices
- Surge Protection
What to Expect
The class meets from 8 am to 5 pm. Each student will receive a course manual that includes the figures, tables and graphs discussed during the presentation.
Additional Training
Upon request, a second day of hands-on Site Inspection Training for private groups may be arranged following this course.
Site Inspection Training takes place at a client facility, where students will learn the principles and techniques to identify deficiencies in a site’s electrical, grounding, and protection systems including visual inspection and using various field measurement instruments.
