Lightning-proof computer networks. Choose between an uninterruptible power system and surge protective device. The compound effects of increasing densities of personal computers, wider usage of adjustable speed drives and the inability of traditional distribution systems to support the demands of these loads can create havoc. Proper management of any facility requires a greater knowledge of the effects of harmonics, the means to identify harmonic problems and the tools available to solve harmonic problems. The course features extensive demonstrations and lectures covering the following general topics.
Few topics can elicit as much controversy as that of grounding.
Poor grounding practices can cause continual equipment problems in a facility, whereas proper grounding practices can ensure reliable and productive facility operation. Terms such as single point grounding, multiple point grounding, isolated grounding, and equipotential reference grounding have special meaning and illustrate different approaches to grounding. GND100 is an intensive one-day course which examines, in depth, this very controversial topic. The course looks at grounding from a fresh perspective. GND100 focuses on understanding grounding problems and solutions.
