This course will build a foundation of skills you can use to become familiar with concepts involved with fault load and load flow studies, along with arc flash analysis in electrical power distribution systems. This course is also an ideal refresher course for electrical engineers preparing for the PE Exam (ECE - Power). Basic concepts covered in this course include:
  • The sinusoidal forcing functions and phasor notation 
  • Phasor relationships for resistors, inductors, capacitors and the concept of impedance 
  • Analysis of single and poly-phase electric circuits 
  • Power in single-phase and balanced three-phase circuits 
  • Per-unit quantities and changing the base of per-unit quantities
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
  • Compute the impedance of resistors, capacitors and inductors at a given frequency (60 Hz)
  • Compute the current flowing in a model of an electric power distribution system feeder given the source and load voltages (represented as phasors); compute the power absorbed by the load
  • Identify wye and delta connections of three phase loads; list advantages and disadvantages for the various possible connections
  • Describe the relationship between “line” and “phase” currents/voltages for wye and delta connected loads
  • Express voltages and currents in a power distribution system operating (through transformers) at different voltage levels on a per-unit basis
