This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a brief guidance on new motor purchase decisions, and on how to identify and determine the energy and cost savings for those motors that should be replaced with premium efficiency units.

In 2006, the total annual energy consumption due to motor-driven equipment in the U.S. industrial, commercial, residential, and transportation sectors amounted to 38.4% of total U.S. electrical energy use. While standard and energy efficient motors are still on the market, the energy savings from replacing in-service standard and energy efficient motors with premium efficiency motor models can be substantial.

This presentation begins by examining the in-service motor population and motor uses in the industrial sector. It then discusses the evolution of voluntary and mandatory motor efficiency standards while indicating how to evaluate motor efficiency opportunities, address application considerations, and determine cost-effectiveness. It provides an overview of currently available and emerging advanced “Super Premium” efficiency motor technologies. It also provides tips on “tuning” your in-plant distribution system to ensure efficiency gains are not lost due to undervoltage operation or to excessive voltage unbalance. Finally, the presentation discusses the preventive and predictive maintenance activities necessary to keep premium efficiency motors operating at peak efficiency.

This 5 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to electric motor suppliers and consumers, and electrical and mechanical engineers and designers interested in new motor purchases or standard motor replacement.

This online engineering PDH video presentation will present detailed technical solutions for the protection of electrical transformers.

The transformers that will be discussed include very large high-voltage unit power transformers (230 kV and 500 kV).  The presentation will discuss the development of relay protection systems using EasyPower and ETAP software. It will discuss the solutions that use digital protection relays by GE Multilin, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL), ABB, Basler AG and Siemens. Alstom integrated protection systems that include the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) phase loss protection design, will be reviewed. The presentation will also discuss bulk electric power systems and primary/backup power protection using the ETAP device protection and co-ordination evaluation software.

This 2 PDH video presentation is intended primarily for electrical engineers, technicians, and others who are interested in enhancing their knowledge of transformer protection system design.

This online engineering PDH video presentation will present information on the key parameters of an induction motor and the selection of a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).

The presentation will explain soft starter capability and compare it with the variable frequency drives including active front end, full regen drive, scalar, vector, and direct torque control drive. It will review the installation requirements and different characteristics for VFDs. Then, interactions and settings of the VFD are reviewed. Typical applications and requirements are also explained.

This online engineering PDH video presentation contains a discussion of, and example calculation of the symmetrical components in power systems engineering. 

The presentation starts with the introduction and definition of the symmetrical components method and focuses on calculation of three-phase voltages and currents from their symmetrical components. The lesson continues with the reverse process of how to find the symmetrical components of a given three-phase set of voltages or currents. Fully worked out examples are included to demonstrate application of the theory to practice.

This 1 PDH online video presentation is intended primarily for electrical engineers, and in particular those interested in learning the foundations of power systems protection engineering, as well as any engineer interested in learning about the interesting and useful theory of symmetrical components that allows decomposition of three-phase systems into their constituent sequence components.

This engineering online PDH video presentation will establish, through slides and discussions, the importance of protecting substations from possible damage.

Substations represent the most important junction in the electric power system; generation switchyard, transmission, subtransmission, distribution, unit, customer and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are important substation types that make up the electric grid. Substation represent the most expensive property in the utility system that includes very expensive equipment, such as power transformers, instrument transformers, breakers, capacitors, shunt reactors, switches, SCADA and relays. Nowadays, data and big data play critical role in the energy world to transform substations to intelligent substations; monitoring devices and advanced cameras are installed at critical substations to reduce O&M, extend the life of various components and prevent damage.

This 2 PDH online video presentation is intended for electrical, renewable and sustainability engineers as well as others interested in learning more about intelligent substations.

This online engineering PDH video presentation will present information on harmonics and how they may impact an electrical system.

This presentation will discuss how harmonics are generated in an electrical system and the issues that arise because of them.  It will also discuss how to identify sources of harmonics along with the key methods to canceling and mitigating their effects. Filters will be discussed for instrumentation, protection and control. Power Quality Analyzers and Fast Fourier Transformation for voltage and current harmonics will also be reviewed.

This 1 PDH video presentation is intended primarily for electrical engineers, technicians, and others who are interested in enhancing their knowledge of harmonics.
