Power Factor and Harmonics
* List examples of power factor and harmonics phenomena, the common causes and the common negative physical and financial impacts
* List methods of preventing or mitigating power factor and harmonics problems and describe their suitability for particular situations
* Perform power triangle calculations, and size the required power factor correction solution for a given level of correction
* List possible locations of mitigation solutions within an electrical network, and identify the pros and cons associated with each location
Low power factor and harmonics are a frustration for electrical installations. They can cause power losses and reduced energy reliability. In the context of increasing concern about energy efficiency and energy management, power factor and harmonics are important issues to consider for the management of electrical installations. This course will explore power factor and harmonics and will explain how power factor correction and harmonic mitigation provide immediate benefit in terms of reduced power losses, reduced electricity bill, and the possibility to use the total system capacity.
