Power Quality

Learn how to get more out of your Power Quality data.

Perfect for electrical engineers, technicians, and managers involved with recording or analyzing power quality data - whether you are just starting out, or a seasoned PE. Conveniently scheduled as weekly 60 minute web-based sessions. The live webinars include Q&A sessions.

The online courses by PMI were very informative and convenient. It was really nice to be able to attend these courses right from the office. Glen Shomo did an excellent job on interpreting power quality data. I would definitely recommend it.
