Fluke is offering a free Power Quality Seminar as part of its programme of seminars for 2016 throughout the UK and Ireland. Designed to help Facility Managers, Maintenance Engineers, Energy Consultants and Power Engineers to save money on energy bills and increase machinery lifetime, the seminars are one element of the Fluke Academy programme which can be seen at http://www.flukeacademy.shuttlepod.org/UK-seminars
The seminars covering Power Quality explain how users of Fluke equipment can set up a load study, how they can measure the power quality from the power utility and how to detect disturbances in their facilities, thus learning how to save money and improve machinery lifetime.
Each seminar will cover: An introduction to Power Quality principles; Flicker, transients, Volts, Amps and Hertz; Load studies; Energy consumption in facilities, offices and homes; How to measure unbalance, harmonics, inter harmonics; and Mains signalling, voltage dips and swells.
Other seminars in the Fluke Academy programme cover thermography; reducing energy costs; troubleshooting motors and drives to minimise plant downtime; process calibration; and electrical testing.
The Fluke Academy web page also provides access to webinars and webcasts that provide online training to obtain the maximum benefit in the application of thermal imagers and portable oscilloscopes, as well as highlighting training courses with partner institutions.
