Advanced Harmonics Class
This 90 minute session will give you the knowledge you need to readily identify the symptoms and sources of harmonic distortion, quickly calculate harmonic voltage and current, and effectively mitigate power quality problems caused by harmonic disturbances. Examine and discuss example waveforms captured by PMI analyzers in real-world power quality investigations.
This class is taught by certified PE, Bob Worden, and is recommended for all electrical engineers and specifically for individuals who have completed PMI’s Seven Session Power Quality Essentials Class.
