NSPE – DC Electricity Principles, Practice, and Applications – 4 PDHs

March 31, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

DC Electricity Principles, Practice, and Applications – 4 PDHs

This course covers principles of DC (Direct Current) electricity in a simple, easy to understand, format. It is themed after a book published by the instructor, titled: “Electrical Engineering for non-Electrical Engineers.” In the book, as well as this seminar, Rauf uses simple analogies and practical, day to day, examples to illustrate the, otherwise, abstract concepts of DC electricity. Upon attending this course, participants will be able to perform straightforward and common calculations, in the DC realm, associated with voltage, current, resistance, circuit analysis, power, service factor, and much more. Practical examples of DC electrical equipment applications, in industrial, and institutional settings are covered.

This includes discussion on DC power transmission systems, solar PV systems, EV’s (Electric Vehicles), LED’s, DC ESS (Energy Storage Systems), HESS, DC-DC converters, DC mining dragline equipment, Diesel locomotives, etc. Applications of electronic DC safety devices are explained and illustrated. A few DC articles in the National Electrical Code are introduced. This course is designed for engineers, professional engineers, energy professionals, engineering managers, technical professionals, facilities managers and other professionals who are not intimately familiar DC principles, practices and applications.
