Matthew Strong of Siemens Industry, Inc.

  Part 1-A: Power Quality Metering Basics

• Power quality definitions sags, swells, transients
• What is Power Quality
• Poor Power Quality – what is it to you?
• Key measurement points Power Energy and Demand
• Power quality terms used in the power industry
• Power Quality terms to avoid
• Power quality facts and trends
• What are voltage disturbances
• Common Power Quality Waveform Signatures such as Voltage Sags, Momentary Interruptions, Voltage Swells
• PQ Parameters and PQ disturbances
• PQ Parameters to be recorded
• PQ Disturbances briefly defined
• PQ Disturbances – Causes
• What are Harmonics
• Where to Harmonics come from?
• Available power quality technology for the commercial and industrial building industry

Part 1-B:  New Innovations for Electrical Power Management System (EPMS) and ASHRAE 90.1 8.4.3 Compliance

As the requirement for power monitoring increases throughout the industry, more “smart technology” is required to record and transmit this information.  We will discuss the latest advancements in EPMS systems and products to meet this need.

Topics will include:

• Power monitoring and controls
• Cyber security considerations
• Embedded metering versus individual metering
• A demonstration of embedded metering with project examples
• Networking requirements
• How to meet the needs of the EPMIS systems

Part 2: To Switch or Not To Switch…Key approaches to meet NEC 240.87 for Arc Flash Protection

Part 2-A: Tools you can use to select and implement reduction of Arc-Flash

• A better understanding of the intent of NEC 240.87
• Arc-flash Mediation Techniques & Tools
• Determine cost effective methods that comply
• New options for the latest 2017 Code
• How to calculate Incident Energy
• Arc-Current vs Available Fault Current
• Time-Curve Software and Calculators

 Part 2 -B: How to Apply Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI)

• How to Rely on ZSI
• Applying ZSI to Arc-Reduction and Selective Coordination circuit
• ZSI Interconnections
• Comparisons of ZSI functions with Time Current Curves
• Understanding the fault protection sequences of ZSI
• Code Compliance with ZSI
• Cost Impact
