Industrial power systems analysis II

Learning objective

This course will verify and validate technical knowledge of engineers who perform or would like to perform power system analyses on a regular basis. Upon successful completion, attendees will be able to identify the settings of protective devices to properly protect a power distribution system per the National Electric Code (NFPA 70), demonstrate coordination analysis skills in a small power distribution system by reading manufacturers' time current curves and drawing system time current curves, and apply IEEE and NFPA standards at various locations within a power distribution system to calculate the incident energy during a worst case arc flash event.

Course abstract

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to use manufacturer time current curves to coordinate a power distribution system and protect the distribution equipment from available faults and overloads. This program also ensures attendees can use the latest IEEE 1584 equations to calculate the incident energy in an arcing fault situation.

Target audience

Power system engineers, field service engineers, application engineers, sales engineers, technicians and others who want a solid understanding of protective device coordination and arc flash analysis.
