The best distribution system is one that is economical and adequate for present and future loads. The electrical system receives power from one or more sources and supplies power to different loads in the system. Due to the importance of distribution system to the operation of any facility, it is most essential that the best system be designed and installed.

Our Power System Fundamentals live online instructor-led course starts with sound design. A proper functioning electric power distribution system is vital to safety, maintenance, troubleshooting and the efficient operation of a modern industrial and commercial facility. The power distribution system includes high voltage utility tie circuit breakers, main transformers, medium voltage switchgear, distribution transformers, motor control centers, electric motors, variable speed drives, etc. This Power System Analysis Training Course is designed to address all aspects of industrial power distribution systems, including system planning, equipment selection, specification and application, system grounding, protection and conformity with electrical code requirements, etc. Typical one-line will be discussed for various applications.
