For Industrial & Commercial Power Systems

This course is designed for electrical engineers responsible for industrial or commercial power systems planning, designs for reliability and overall system performance. Students will calculate available short circuit current at varied power system one-line locations to learn how to properly size fuses, cables, breakers and transformers. By learning protective device coordination, load shedding may be accomplished with minimal impact to power system operation.
