Participants will learn the theory and application of 3-phase power distribution as well as electrical safety and best practices for implementing a safe portable power distribution system. They will learn how to calculate single-phase and 3-phase loads and deal with the anomalies presented by loads with low power factor. They will learn how to ensure the equipment is sized correctly by learning to find the proper ampacities of cables and the de-rating factors. They will learn how to protect themselves and those around them from the hazards of electrical power distribution.
The course relates to the safety and efficiency of portable power distribution systems, to the testing and troubleshooting of issues that arise before and during an event, and to the skills needed by attendees.
The course is designed to help participants understand the theory and application of portable power distribution, how to protect themselves against the hazards involved, and how to reason through testing and troubleshooting by understanding the underlying concepts.
