Electrical Power System Fundamentals for Non-Electrical Engineers

This course will begin with a review of basic electrical circuits and electrical laws. You will learn about the fundamental principles of electrical generation, transmission, and distribution. We will then cover electrical distribution in further detail. Electrical measurements, as applied to single-phase and three-phase systems, will be reviewed.

We will cover earthing (or grounding) with a strong focus on safety issues, before we examine transformers, with an emphasis on power transformers as used in the electrical distribution industry. Power system components in terms of isolators, fuses, and circuit breakers will also be discussed.

The course examines AC and DC motors and reviews electrical lighting and illumination concepts. The impact, especially in the modern world of power electronics, is discussed with a demonstration of the possible unpleasant harmonics that can arise from using this powerful technology.

This then leads to the subject of dealing with power quality.

This course is not designed to make you a professional engineer; however, it can help broaden your perspective on different areas of electrical engineering. It will give you valuable skills in relation to electrical engineering, to help you become more productive and safer in your career, and in working with electrical engineers, technicians, and managers.
