Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants

The continuity and quality of electricity delivered safely and economically by today’s and future electrical power networks are essential for both developed and developing economies. An electric power distribution system plays a vital role in the efficient operation of a modern industrial plant. Such a system includes high-voltage circuit breakers, switchgear, transformers, motor control centers, electric motors, variable-speed drives, etc. Power systems equipment must withstand the rated voltage, which corresponds to a particular system’s highest voltage, and the expected short level. The accurate modeling of power system equipment and correct fault analysis of electrical networks are pre-requisite to ensuring safety.

This Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants course will cover all aspects of power distribution, including system planning, equipment selection, and application, system grounding, protection and conformity with electrical code requirements, etc.

Upon completion of Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants, the participant will gain good knowledge about the following topics:

• Key principles of electrical projects & planning in distribution systems.
• Standards and recommended practices.
• Electrical distribution systems.
• How to select, maintain and control DC and AC motors.
• The characteristics, properties, insulation, shielding, jacketing, short circuit capabilities, and references of wires and cables.
• Transformers ratings, application, selection, and safety.
• Medium and low voltage switchgear and motor control centers.
• Topics in faults and circuit protection.
• Distribution, construction, fuses, circuit breakers, disconnects, grounding, types, and ratings of switchboards and panels
• UPS and batteries.
• System grounding philosophy.
• Classifications of hazardous areas, equipment certification, and equipment protection methods.

The Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants training course is suitable for a wide range of technical professionals and includes:

• Maintenance Engineers and supervisors
