Electrical Distribution Systems
This course covers electrical distribution systems in industrial facilities, focusing on power flow from utility feeders through transformers, buses, and protective devices to end-use equipment. Participants will learn about system components including transformers for voltage adjustment, circuit breakers for protection, and buses for power routing.
The course examines monitoring devices that track electrical conditions and protective equipment such as relays, fuses, and interlocks. Students will study emergency power systems, including how generators and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) maintain critical loads during outages. Topics include routine maintenance and testing procedures for backup power systems.
Power outage response procedures are covered, from equipment-level failures to facility-wide blackouts. The course addresses placing units in safe conditions and following emergency procedures. Suitable for operators, technicians, and maintenance personnel in industrial facilities.
