In-person instruction

Power quality monitoring and analysis

Learning objective

Find and pinpoint power quality issues, measure them and use proven methods for correcting them.

Course 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. More than half of the time in this training program is dedicated to 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.

Target audience

This training program 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.
