This course is designed to enable participants to:

• Identify power quality indices
• Recognize symptoms of power quality problems including sags, swells, under or overvoltage, harmonics, transients, interruptions, wiring and grounding issues
• Classify power quality events according to IEEE and public utility standards
• Explain proper application and interpret results of power quality monitoring equipment
• Recommend viable solutions to power quality problems

This course is intended for utility and industrial managers, electrical engineers, electricians and technicians that install, maintain, repair and/or troubleshoot power and auxiliary systems in oil and gas, data centers, industrial plants, commercial facilities, mines, hospitals, and pulp and paper mills.
