Alternating Current (AC) Systems - Part II

COURSE NO: E01-304I
PDH CREDIT: 1
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Alternating Current (AC) Systems - Part II
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides additional information related to alternating current (AC) circuits and describes the associated components and terminology.

AC generators are widely used to produce AC voltage. Because of the nature of AC voltage and current, the operation of an AC generator requires that rules and procedures be followed. There are various types of AC generators available, each type having advantages and disadvantages.

AC motors are widely used to drive machinery for a wide variety of applications. Furthermore, transformers are used extensively for AC power transmissions and for various control and indication circuits.

Knowledge of the basic theory of how these different components operate is necessary to understand the particular role they play in today’s facilities.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for electrical engineers and design and construction personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of alternating current systems.
