• Moodle Course - Voltage and Current Distortion (1040)
• Navigating moodle (156)

The second course in the comprehensive programme on power quality covers the subject of harmonics and interharmonics.

The knowledge acquired during the course should be sufficient for:

• identification of the distortion nature
• distortion source identification
• disturbance assessment by means of measuring
• evaluation of technical effects of disturbance
• proposing remedial measures

The course should take between 12 to 20 hours for participants with an electrical engineering background. Participants are expected to finish the course by 19 March 2010.

Enrolment for this course (PQ02) is open from 2 February until 19 February 2010.  To enroll, you need to login (if you do not have an account yet, register here).  After login, you can join the course.
