EMC Lesson 1: Understanding 3-Phase Power and Plant Distribution

This program will give everyone in your plant a solid understanding of the basics of power generation and distribution. Everyone who works with, or around, electrical equipment needs to know how to protect themselves and your equipment.

Use this program to cross-train your mechanics in the basics of electricity and cut your power bills at the same time!

Everyone Will Understand the Basics of Power in the Plant

• Cut your power bills and extend the life of your equipment by using power factor correction
• Choose the safest methods for power distribution
• Understand why motors and their voltages are designed the way they are
• Configure wye and delta branch and feeder circuits to provide a balanced power system
• Learn which voltage connection to avoid to prevent equipment damage
• Rectify AC power into DC power
• Determine phase-to-phase and phase-to-neutral voltages and currents
