Commissioning Electrical Power Systems Course
Commissioning Electrical Power Systems
The Commissioning Electrical Power Systems course teaches students with limited electrical knowledge the commissioning process for Standard Power Systems, Emergency Power Systems, and Lighting Control Systems. Offering comprehensive instructions in classroom and practical formats, students learn the completion of electrical System Verification Checklists (SVCs) and Functional Performance Tests (FPTs). The Electrical Power Systems covers power fundamentals, equipment, coordination studies, applicable codes, and much more. It aims to impart a basic understanding of electrical fundamentals and commercial building power systems, including NETA testing for key components. The Emergency Power Systems focuses on emergency power components, sequencing, and testing, ensuring participants gain proficiency in emergency power equipment and functionality. Meanwhile, the Lighting Control Systems delves into energy code requirements, lighting control devices, and commissioning best practices, with a goal of proficient understanding in these areas. At the conclusion of the course, the participant performs a commissioning exercise of a commercial building’s power, emergency power and lighting systems under the supervision of an experienced commissioning provider.
- Electrical System Checklists and FPTs
- Electrical Theory
- Overview of NFPA 70 National Electrical Code (NEC)
