This course is designed to help personnel recognize the basic elements of a distribution system and to gain an understanding of how each element work. This course also introduces basic equipment such as transformers, capacitors, regulators, circuit breakers, and other types of protective devices. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to

• Explain basic electrical system quantities, identify sources of generation, cogeneration issues, and distribution system configuration
• Describe the major electrical machinery and components used in power distribution
• Understand the fundamentals of system protection, grounding, and power quality problems
