This online engineering PDH course introduces the reader to the concept of load factor, its role in power quality considerations and electrical energy cost reduction through peak shaving. Significance of electrical equipment service factor and voltage regulation of power distribution systems is highlighted. Electric power bill calculation in residential, commercial and industrial arena is illustrated.
DC and AC motors and generators are introduced. Basic principles and equations governing the operation and performance of electric motors are presented. Common calculations involving electric motors are covered, and illustrated through examples and self-assessment problems. The reader is introduced to the concepts of induction motor slip and the roles that slip and frequency play in determination of the motor shaft speed.
An exploratory tour of power distribution and safety equipment is conducted through the review of motor control center (MCC), power switchgear, electronic safety devices and variable frequency drives (VFD). Pictures and diagrams are used in this discussion to give the reader a "hands- on" feel of common electrical and electronic equipment.

This online engineering PDH course describes the basic concept, function, types, and the different components of electrical transformers.
A transformer is an electrical equipment that transfers energy from one circuit to another by electromagnetic induction. They are often used to convert between high and low voltages (step-up or step down). Transformers and their components vary depending on the application and are available in several different configurations.
This 5 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers, maintenance personnel and other technical staff who are interested in gaining a better understanding of transformers.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the function of transformers and their physical characteristics
- Familiarizing with the different components of transformers
- Learning how to identify a transformer as step-up or step-down and state the current ratio of a transformer when given the turns ratio
- Learning the mathematical relationship between the power in the primary and the power in the secondary of a transformer
- Understanding the basics of the different types of transformers

This online engineering PDH course presents the mechanical designs of overhead lines including their main components, insulator types, string efficiency and various factors affecting their design.
Electric power can be transferred either by underground cables or overhead lines. The underground cables are not commonly used for power transmission due to two main reasons. Firstly, power is transferred over long distances to load centres. Secondly, electric power needs to be transferred at high voltages for economic reasons. With the increase in power demand and consequent rise in voltage levels, power transmission by overhead lines has assumed considerable importance.
However, an overhead line is subjected to various weather conditions and other external interferences. This asks for the use of adequate mechanical safety factors in order to ensure the continuity of line operation. Typically, the strength of the line needs to be such so it can withstand the worst probable weather conditions. This course focuses on the different aspects of mechanical design of overhead lines.
This 6 PDH online course is suitable for engineers with a desire to understand basic elements of the overhead line, its design principles, calculation methods and factors that affect overall current carrying capacity. Upon successful completion engineers will be able to address important overhead line design considerations and independently complete different calculations.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning about the main components of overhead lines
- Learning about the types of insulators
- Understanding string efficiency
- Understanding the Corona effect and factors that affect it
- Learning about Sag in overhead lines
- Knowing the factors that affect sag in overhead lines
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the document titled, “Mechanical Design of Overhead Lines” by Velimir Lackovic, Char. Eng.

This online engineering PDH course provides a basic understanding of the fundamental principles, concepts and definitions of radar systems.
The term Radar is an acronym made up of the words radio detection and ranging. The term is used to refer to electronic equipment that detect the presence, direction, height, and distance of objects by using reflected electromagnetic energy.
Modern radar systems are used for early detection of surface or air objects and provide extremely accurate information on distance, direction, height, and speed of the objects. Radar is also used to guide missiles to targets and direct the firing of gun systems. Other types of radar provide long-distance surveillance and navigation information.
This 5 PDH online course is applicable to electrical, instrumentation and communication engineers, as well as other technical personnel interested in gaining a better understanding about radar principles.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning about range, bearing, and altitude in relation to radar systems
- Understanding how pulse width, peak power, and beam width affect radar performance
- Learning about the factors that affect radar accuracy
- Understanding the function, principles of operation, and interrelationships of the basic units of a radar system
- Familiarizing with the classifications of radar systems
