Power Quality Training - Our 3 day (18 hours) live online instructor-led course is actually a series of three courses:
1. Power Quality Analysis Training
1. Power Quality Analysis Training - This 12-hour live online instructor-led course is important because power quality and harmonics analysis, measurement, and mitigation of electrical disturbance is no longer an option in our modern electronic society, it is a necessity. The course is designed to help organizations to recognize power quality problems by their symptoms and waveforms and to understand the root causes of electrical power quality problems as well as typical remedies.

Power Quality Analysis Training
2. Power Factor Correction Training - Our 6-hour live online instructor-led course explains the three types of power factor, from a cause and effect basis and then teaches the intricacies of each type along with the methods to improve each power factor. The course demonstrates how to size power factor capacitors for various types of situations and the pitfalls to be avoided. Several real life examples are worked as a group to demonstrate the techniques used to perform analysis of power factor, size power factor equipment and to quantify the expected results and ROI.
