Prince Edward Island Electrical 30 PDH Discount Package 1

This online engineering PDH course introduces the basic concepts of direct current (DC). It starts by describing the various types of DC sources. It explains the relevant DC circuit terminology. It demonstrates a series of basic DC circuit calculations by providing pertinent examples. It introduces conventional and electron flow and voltage polarity as well as defines Kirchhoff's Laws. Finally it discusses DC circuit analysis and faults.

This 3 PDH  online course is applicable to electrical and computer engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the theory of direct current.

This online engineering PDH course presents the fundamental information and necessary guidance required to assist the Manufacturing and Process industries in optimizing their electric motor driven systems which leads to substantial energy / cost savings.

Electric motors are among the least well-managed industrial equipment, even though motor-driven equipment accounts for approximately 70% of the electrical energy consumed by process industries and approximately 90% for electrical intensive industries. Motors that are not properly managed can result in billions of dollars in wasted energy and operating costs to an industry.

A detailed analysis of the U.S. motor systems inventory indicates that this energy use could be reduced by 11% to 18% if plant managers implement all cost-effective applications of mature and proven energy efficiency technologies and practices. It is worth noting that the suggested improvements are not necessarily limited to the U.S., but can be implemented in any industry around the world that utilizes motor driven systems.

This online engineering PDH course introduces the reader to the concept of load factor, its role in power quality considerations and electrical energy cost reduction through peak shaving. Significance of electrical equipment service factor and voltage regulation of power distribution systems is highlighted. Electric power bill calculation in residential, commercial and industrial arena is illustrated.

DC and AC motors and generators are introduced. Basic principles and equations governing the operation and performance of electric motors are presented. Common calculations involving electric motors are covered, and illustrated through examples and self-assessment problems. The reader is introduced to the concepts of induction motor slip and the roles that slip and frequency play in determination of the motor shaft speed.

An exploratory tour of power distribution and safety equipment is conducted through the review of motor control center (MCC), power switchgear, electronic safety devices and variable frequency drives (VFD). Pictures and diagrams are used in this discussion to give the reader a "hands- on" feel of common electrical and electronic equipment.

This 8 PDH online course is applicable to engineers of all disciplines, as well as technicians, facilities managers and executives who are not intimately familiar with electrical engineering principles and practices.

This online PDH course presents the basics of motor and drive systems and briefly describes important terms, relationships, and system design considerations. It also provides a roadmap for finding opportunities to improve motor performance, as well as exploring the economics of motor systems.

Electric motors, taken together, make up the single largest end use of electricity in the United States. In the U.S. manufacturing sector, electric motors used for machine drives such as pumps, conveyors, compressors, fans, mixers, grinders, and other materials handling or processing equipment account for about 54% of electricity consumption.

To achieve cost-effective operation and maintenance of a motor and drive system, operators must pay attention to the entire system as well as to its individual components. Often, when investigating efficiency opportunities, operators are so focused on the immediate demands of this equipment that they overlook the bigger picture, which includes the ways in which system parameters affect all the equipment.

This online engineering PDH course presents the basics of motor and drive systems and briefly describes important terms, relationships, and system design considerations. It also describes key factors involved in motor and drive selection and system design, and provides an overview of the different types of motors and drives and their applications.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers, designers, contractors, building professionals and manufacturers who are involved with motor and drive systems.

This online engineering PDH course provides a brief overview of how to read and interpret motor nameplate information, as well as highlights the major differences between NEMA and IEC motor standards.

One of the most important aspects of making motors interchangeable is ensuring that nameplate information is common among manufacturers. International standards such as National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) provide key electrical, mechanical, construction and reliability parameters on the motor largely to benefit consumer to expect "standard" motors from different manufacturers that meet or exceed the minimum performance parameters, and for the most part, be about the same size.

This 3 PDH online course is intended for mechanical and electrical engineers, energy auditors, service technicians, operational and maintenance personnel who are involved in designing, specifying, maintaining or replacing motors.
