Electrical Equipment: Electrical Production and Distribution

This course is designed to familiarize participants with basic concepts associated with the production and distribution of electric power for use by process systems. After completing this course, participants should be able to explain, in general terms, how off-site power comes into a plant and how a plant can generate power on site for its own use. They should also be able to identify and explain the functions of the major components in an electrical distribution system. In addition, participants should be able to describe general hazards associated with these systems and explain how the possible effects of the hazards can be minimized.
