An intensive professional development training course on
Harmonics, Power Quality & its effects on Gas Insulated Switchgears (GIS)
Why Choose Harmonics, Power Quality & its effects on Gas Insulated Switchgears (GIS) Training Course?
This course focuses mainly on the effects and presence of harmonics in power system, with reference to auxiliary equipment such as variable speed drives, uninterruptible power supplies and others.
When more electronic devices are connected to our power systems, the ‘quality’ of the power becomes more important. Stable voltages and undistorted waveforms are two characteristics which are very desirable. Grounding affects voltage stability, and more importantly, is critical to personal safety. Harmonics distortions will result in nuisance tripping of electrical systems. The advantages, components, characteristics and operations of a gas insulated switchgears substations are also discussed in this course.
This course will feature:
- Understanding types of power quality issues and harmonics
- Operation principle and construction of gas insulated switchgears
- Identification of the various types of waveforms
- Mitigation of harmonics and K-Factor
- Grounding of gas insulated switchgear substations
What are the Goals?
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the various types of power quality issues
- Determine causes of wave form distortion
- Explain the effects of harmonics, filters and K-factor
- Analyse the common voltage disturbances
- Design the protection of gas insulated switchgear substations
Who is this Training Course for?
This course will benefit all levels of professional in an electrical installation. It will enable them to understand power quality issues, causes of harmonics and operation of gas insulated switchgears.
This course is suitable to a wide range of technical professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Electricians
- Electrical supervisors
- Plant electricians
- Operations & maintenance engineers, supervisors & technicians
- Maintenance technicians
How will this Training Course be Presented?
This course will utilise a variety of proven adult training techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes presentation and discussion of latest videos and technologies on the power quality issues, harmonics and gas insulted switchgears.
Questions are encouraged throughout, particularly at the daily wrap up sessions. This provides opportunities for participants to discuss with the Presenter specific issues and, if possible, find appropriate solutions. Specific goals of each participant will be discussed to ensure that their needs are fulfilled whenever practicable.
