The course material provides a better understanding of the recommended practices
and methods involved in the design of electrical distribution systems. The course
material can be used as a reference source during the design of electrical power
distribution at industrial facilities.
Course Introduction
This course provides
for the first part of a thorough study of recommended practices for power distribution
and the methods commonly used in electrical system design. A thorough analysis
of basic electrical power system considerations is covered. The topics covered
are: system planning, voltage considerations, electrical conservation through
energy management, industrial substations - plant utility interface considerations,
and cost estimating of industrial power systems.
The course materials are based entirely on selected chapters within the "IEEE
Recommended Practice for Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants",
IEEE Std. 141-1993. It will be necessary for the student to obtain a copy of
or have access to a copy of IEEE Std. 141-1993 "IEEE Recommended Practice
for Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants". This standard
is a very useful resource and is recommended that all practicing electrical
engineers involved in power system engineering and design should be familiar
with and utilize this standard.
Course Content
The purpose of
the course is to provide the first part of a thorough study of the recommended
practice. Then the standard can be used in the future as a reference tool for
the design of electrical distribution systems at industrial facilities. You
are required to obtain a copy and study the selected Chapters of "IEEE
Recommended Practice for Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants",
IEEE Std. 141-1993.
The recommended practice, commonly known as the "IEEE Red Book" is
intended as a practical guide for engineers and designers that are responsible
for the design of electric power systems in industrial facilities.
The IEEE Red Book is a useful reference tool that every practicing electrical
engineering professional should have access to.
The "IEEE
Recommended Practice for Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants",
IEEE Std. 141-1993 can be purchased from the following websites:
IEEE Shop or
IHS Markit Standards Store
For this course, you are required to study the following six chapters of the "IEEE
Recommended Practice for Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants",
IEEE Std. 141-1993:
Chapter 1 - Overview
Chapter 2 - System Planning
Chapter 3 - Voltage Considerations
Chapter 14 - Electrical Conservation through Energy Management
Chapter 15 - Industrial Substations - Plant Utility Interface Considerations
Chapter 16 - Cost Estimating of Industrial Power Systems
Note: There is no additional study material prepared by the instructor. If this is NOT what you expected, please do not complete the quiz and contact us by email for a refund immediately after you purchase this course.
Course Summary
This course provides
for the first part of a thorough study of recommended practices for power distribution
and the methods commonly used in electrical system design. A thorough analysis
of basic electrical power system considerations is covered. The engineering
function is generally more than furnishing of design and specifications and
this function becomes especially important when the user/owner of the power
distribution system employs an engineering firm to support the electrical distribution
development. Use of this design guide will usually result in an economical approach
from a system standpoint. Technical advances and changes in codes and standards
that could cause some of the material in this course to become obsolete continue
to proliferate in the industry and therefore the user needs to continue to stay
up to date with the changing technologies.
The course materials are based entirely on selected chapters within the "IEEE
Recommended Practice for Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants",
IEEE Std. 141-1993. It will be necessary for the student to obtain a copy of
or have access to a copy of IEEE Std. 141-1993 "IEEE Recommended Practice
for Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants". This standard
is a very useful resource and is recommended that all practicing electrical
engineers involved in power system engineering and design should be familiar
with and utilize this standard.
