Even if You Have a Practical Background in Capacitor Application,
There is More to Learn.

Capacitors are one of the least understood, yet most beneficial components of the power system. The financial benefits to voltage support and power factor correction cannot be overlooked. This workshop will teach you the operational techniques of good capacitor application. In the Cooper Power Systems' Power Capacitor Application & Protection Workshop, you will receive hands-on training to help you visualize the concepts. Throughout the sessions, voltage support and power factor problems are worked to give you a thorough working knowledge of power capacitor benefits.

In Three Days You Will Learn

• The fundamentals, application guidelines and special consideration of power capacitors
• Power system and capacitor basics
• Testing
• Capacitor controls and bank design
• Unbalance detection schemes and optimizing performance and costs are just a few of the other course topics presented

Attendees
Any engineer who is involved in applying capacitors in distribution substations, on distribution lines and transmission systems will benefit.

Instructors
All instructors are degreed engineers with practical knowledge and industry experience in distribution overcurrent protection.

Instructor teams are made up of experts from industry and the academic world. These individuals have many years of experience in power engineering applications or power engineering education. All instructors possess advanced degrees in electrical engineering with specialization in electric power systems.

Important Benefits
Other workshops cannot provide the combination of experienced engineers, hands-on learning, and technical information as well as a comprehensive reference manual.

Cooper Power Systems/University of Missouri-Rolla offers the unique combination of real world, everyday problem-solving skills. Instructors are experts in the field of power capacitors with hands-on, practical experience.

The comprehensive reference manual, specially prepared for the Capacitor Applications & Protection workshop, is a thorough, professional resource written by Cooper Power Systems' engineers with practical information, including TCC curves, to help you accomplish your day-to-day objectives.
