405-01 - Power Quality

Learning objectives

  • Define "power quality"
  • List some wiring methods that will minimize harmonic frequencies
  • identify a cause of voltage sag
  • List some means of protection against voltage spikes
  • Describe unbalance in a three-phase four-wire system

Course overview

The power supply quality affects the reliable operations of computers, computer-based equipment, and other sensitive electronic equipment. Understanding the requirements for electronic equipment helps provide the power needed to keep it working reliably.

The Power Quality training course discusses the nature of power supplied to electrical equipment and lists circumstances that affect quality. This online training course explains the quality needed for equipment, harmonics, and unbalance. It also covers voltage sags, low voltages, and voltage serves and spikes.

Introduction to Power Quality is part of the Power Quality training series.
