Strategic Power Factor Correction
Electrical and Power Engineering|5 days|Classroom or live online
Strategic Power Factor Correction looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on substation operation, condition monitoring and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because ageing plant is being asked to carry loads it was never specified for. Delegates leave able to work confidently with standby generation, transformer maintenance and power factor correction in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain standby generation to someone who does not do the work, measured against the SANS wiring code
- Make a decision about transformer maintenance without waiting for a specialist
- Review power factor correction and say plainly whether it is working
- Put lockout and tagout on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
