Power electronics provide electrical device control and modulation t hrough voltage and frequency manipulation as well as many other functions. Utilities across the country are concerned about power quality as it effe cts them as well as their customers.\nPower electronics are found in trans formers\, invertors\, variable frequency drives\, ballasts\, drivers\, pow er supplies\, LED lamps\, computers\, programmable logic controllers and o thers. However\, as power electronic devices multiply so does the occurren ce and magnitude of harmonic distortion in the electrical distribution sys tem. Excessive harmonic distortion can lead to unresponsive equipment\, an d electronic equipment damage.\nThis talk will address power quality issue s and harmonic distortion in facilities:\n\n1. What is good and bad power quality?\n2. Fundamentals of creating and avoiding power quality issues\n3 . What are harmonics?\n4. How are power electronics associated with harmon ics?\n5. Consequences of harmonics\n6. Harmonic distortion levels and thre sholds\n7. Mitigative and corrective measures\n\nNote: Registration is lim ieted to 40 ATTENDEES. Only registered members will be admitted if the roo m fills.\n\nParking & Entrance\n\nParking for the talk will be in the lot at 623 E Main St. This lot is west of Railroad Street.
