Interactive & Video Discount Package 2 - New York Electrical and Ethics 18 PDH

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides additional information related to alternating current (AC) circuits and describes the associated components and terminology.

AC generators are widely used to produce AC voltage. Because of the nature of AC voltage and current, the operation of an AC generator requires that rules and procedures be followed. There are various types of AC generators available, each type having advantages and disadvantages.

AC motors are widely used to drive machinery for a wide variety of applications. Furthermore, transformers are used extensively for AC power transmissions and for various control and indication circuits.

Knowledge of the basic theory of how these different components operate is necessary to understand the particular role they play in today’s facilities.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for electrical engineers and design and construction personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of alternating current systems.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides an overview of the basic principles of control systems and instrumentation used in industry, and the profitability and quality of the product or service obtained from an improved process or system.

Instrumentation and control is the nervous system of industrial complexes, power generation, and basically all the processes that require some intelligence to accomplish the task of producing a product or process. When a process is modified to improve its function, the best and most economic change of the system is to improve the control and occasionally the instrumentation areas. The efficiency of the controls reflects directly in the profitability and quality of the product or service obtained from a process or system.

This presentation will walk you through the elements that make a control system and present to you the most common instrumentation used in industry. It describes basics of control loops, configuration, including control loop and its elements. It also describes instrumentation for pressure, flow, level and temperature, explaining their physical principles, and common applications. Introduction to motor controls is included in the last section of the course. Basic motor control schematics for simple motor starters are explained. Finally, basic description of a of modern motor control center is presented.

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to electrical, chemical, and mechanical engineers, as well as project managers in industry, who are interested either in learning more about control systems and instrumentation or wish to refresh basic control and instrumentation concepts.

The following auxiliary and control systems are considered, including explanations of their mission, operation principles and arrangement including relay protection, metering systems, auxiliary AC/DC Power systems, station alarm and remote control systems.

The third and last part of the course is concentrated on substation engineering aspects, which may be very challenging and require from utility company engineers a very diverse knowledge and experience to address these aspects. The following topics include a description of specific problems associated with them as well as possible resolution options including reliability analysis, typical substation switching systems, insulation coordination, substation safety and fire protection, substation design issues, substation insulator’s performance improvement.

At the end, the presentation provides a list of basic electrical symbols used to read and interpret electrical system diagrams and schematics.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to electrical and computer engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the theory of electricity.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation describes the basic concepts of alternating current (AC) electrical circuits and discusses the associated terminology.

The elementary AC generator consists of a conductor, or loop of wire in a magnetic field that is produced by an electromagnet. The two ends of the loop are connected to slip rings, and they are in contact with two brushes. When the loop rotates, it cuts magnetic lines of force, first in one direction and then the other.

Any device relying on magnetism or magnetic fields to operate is a form of inductor. Furthermore, there are many natural causes of capacitance in AC power circuits, such as transmission lines, fluorescent lighting, and computer monitors. Whenever inductive and capacitive components are used in an AC circuit, the calculation of their effects on the flow of current is important.

The analysis of the AC power generation process and of the alternating current we use in almost every aspect of our lives is necessary to better understand how AC power is used in today’s technology.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for electrical engineers and design and construction personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of alternating current systems.

This online engineering PDH video presentation will present information on motor failure, testing and long term storage.
