Course Description
Overview
Highly reliable electrical power systems are required to serve critical Information Systems (IS) sites. This course provides an overview of power quality problems, with an emphasis on Information Technology (IT) equipment.
Modern technology's sensitive components present new challenges for plant engineers who design, specify, install, or maintain plants and equipment. SCR and diode rectifiers in computers, copiers, switched mode power supplies, solid-state lighting ballasts, and power conversion sections of adjustable frequency drives increase the need for power systems engineers to thoroughly address harmonic distortion and its role in overall power quality.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Attained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
State Board Acceptance
This course can be used by professional engineers to fulfill PDH requirements mandated by state and provincial licensing boards. Decatur Professional Development is an approved provider of continuing education in all states that pre-approve course providers. In all other states that mandate continuing education for engineers, it is the individual engineer's responsibility to determine the suitability of activities for PDH credit. The state boards typically accept online* courses that cover technical, managerial** or ethical content and which are relevant to the practice of engineering. The course must have a clear purpose or objective with a content that will maintain, improve or expand the skills and knowledge of the licensee's field of practice. For questions about your mandatory PDH requirements, visit the website of your state licensing board.
*Online courses are accepted by all state licensing boards that mandate continuing education. Other than New York (which limits online courses to 18 PDH) and Iowa (which limits online courses to 6 PDH), there are no limits placed by other states on the number of hours that can be earned through online continuing education. Consult with your state licensing board if you have any questions about the acceptability of online courses.
**The New York State Board of Engineers does not accept general office management courses, but will accept project management courses that are offered by an approved provider and that are technical in nature and contribute to the engineer's professional practice.
