Medium-Voltage Electrical Distribution for Mission Critical, Industrial, and Campus Facilities
See upcoming datesCourse Overview
A practical course that will help expand your knowledge of medium voltage (1kV to 38kV) systems in non-utility applications.
After completing this course, you will better understand the components that make up medium voltage systems used in non-utility applications. You will learn how systems are laid out and how components are designed and selected. You will also better understand reliability and cost trade-offs in design as well as "Over 1000 Volt" installation requirements in the National Electrical Code and other applicable codes.
