Credit: 3 CPD

Length: 38 pages

This 3-hour course is the sixth in a series of courses on the design of electrical substations. The courses do not necessarily have to be taken in order and, for the most part, are stand-alone courses.

This course covers voltage regulators and capacitors as they are used in substations.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain how voltage regulators are used in substations.
• Distinguish among the different types of voltage regulators.
• Identify the different types of controls used with voltage regulators.
• Describe how shunt capacitors are used in substations.
• Explain the impact of resonant conditions.
• Identify the different capacitor bank configurations used in substations.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
