Industrial Power Systems Analysis I - Pittsburgh

Power system engineers, field service engineers, application engineers, sales engineers, technicians and others who want a solid understanding of short circuit analysis.

At the completion of this course, students will be able to recognize the several forms of power system single-line diagrams, calculate short-circuit current, and evaluate the application of power circuit breakers and power fuses.

Using classroom exercises and demonstrations, this training program reviews the fundamental techniques of power systems analysis. Although it is not intended to teach the use of power systems analysis software, the instructors will use laptop computers in the classroom and review examples to help explain the construction of system single-line diagrams and the calculation of short-circuit current.

• Introduction to power systems analysis: basic unit relationships (voltage/current/power); ANSI device/function numbers
• Three-phase power fundamentals: power triangle, power factor, phasor diagrams; the per-unit system
• Distribution equipment: transformers, induction machines, synchronous machines
• Short-circuit analysis: sources of fault current, symmetrical short circuits, modeling a power system, making impedance diagrams
• Unbalanced fault currents: derivation of non-symmetrical phasors from their symmetrical components, positive/negative/zero sequence networks, three-phase vs. single-line-to-ground and line-to-line faults
• Data collection, short-circuit calculations, protective device ratings, device evaluations, main-tie-main closed-transition applications, capacitive switching

Gaining Access:

Upon arriving at our training centers, follow signage and any other directions you may have received before arriving for your event. Our staff will greet you upon arrival and take you to the appropriate training area. You will be asked to sign in for all events so that we can track building occupants in case of an emergency situation.

What to Wear:

Due to the nature of our training facilities and other events taking place, we ask that you wear business casual (or appropriate PPE if your event requires PPE in lab exercises) while in the facilities. Please do not wear open toed shoes or loose clothing that can get caught on equipment in the lab spaces.

Safety:

Our labs are working labs, as well as training and testing spaces. Equipment may or may not be energized with control voltages as well as three phase power. We ask that you do not open or operate any equipment within the facility without discussing with your host. Eaton staff will provide you with information on gathering points, as well as exit paths at the start of you event.

In addition, Eaton can customize training specific for your organization on a variety of other topics. To learn more visit www.eaton.com/electricalworkertraining or email [email protected].

Eaton’s courses offer professional continuing education training credits (CEUs) certified through the Community College of Allegheny County, Pittsburgh, PA.

Please verify your state’s reciprocity agreement for accepting continuing education units from a member state.
