IMI 2030 - Three Phase Power Systems



Clock Hours: 72

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Course Description:
The students receive instruction in the proper selection, sizing, installation and troubleshooting of transformers.  Transformers are used for circuit conditioning, stepping down voltage, stepping up voltage and isolation.  The students gain this knowledge through text books, workbook, lecture, interactive computer programs and hands-on lab work.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Competencies:

  • Transformer selection based upon the NEC code book.
  • Transformer sizing based upon the NEC code book.
  • Typical transformer installations in industrial settings.
  • The voltages available from WYE connected transformers.
  • The voltages available from Delta connected transformers.
  •  Protection devices (CB and fuse) selection for transformers.
  • Control circuit voltages derived from 3-phase systems.
  • Separately derived systems for emergencies.
  • Wiring transformers for voltage step-up.
  • Wiring of transformers for voltage step-down.
  • Understanding the difference between Apparent Power (VA) and True Power (Watts).
  • Calculating current potential using the Power Formula for both 3-phase and 1-phase.
