Alternating Current (AC) Systems - Part II
This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides additional information related to alternating current (AC) circuits and describes the associated components and terminology.
AC generators are widely used to produce AC voltage. Because of the nature of AC voltage and current, the operation of an AC generator requires that rules and procedures be followed. There are various types of AC generators available, each type having advantages and disadvantages.
AC motors are widely used to drive machinery for a wide variety of applications. Furthermore, transformers are used extensively for AC power transmissions and for various control and indication circuits.
Knowledge of the basic theory of how these different components operate is necessary to understand the particular role they play in today’s facilities.
This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for electrical engineers and design and construction personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of alternating current systems.
This continuing education interactive presentation is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the components, theory and operation of an AC generator
- Understanding the role of voltage regulation equipment and the function of each of their components
- Learning about the theory, terminology and the application of the different types of AC motors
- Learning about the theory, terminology and the application of the different types of transformers
- Knowing how to perform calculations of various electrical parameters
