Best Power Quality Practices
Seminars for Power Quality that are approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services DSPS Course ID # 962316

This one (1) hour tutorial teaches participants how the implementation of some industry best practices will help them to avoid the most common power quality problems. The program covers a range of power quality disturbances, including: sags, swells, transients, power factor, harmonic distortion and supra-harmonics. This tutorial includes examples for motors, drives, LED lighting and renewable energy inverters.
