District of Columbia Electrical and Ethics 20 PDH Discount Package 2

This online engineering PDH course introduces the basic concepts of direct current (DC). It starts by describing the various types of DC sources. It explains the relevant DC circuit terminology. It demonstrates a series of basic DC circuit calculations by providing pertinent examples. It introduces conventional and electron flow and voltage polarity as well as defines Kirchhoff's Laws. Finally it discusses DC circuit analysis and faults.

This 3 PDH  online course is applicable to electrical and computer engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the theory of direct current.

This online engineering PDH course describes electrical measuring devices such as voltmeters, ammeters, ohmmeters and wattmeters. It also describes test equipment such as multimeters and meggers. It discusses the electrical parameters measured and the principles of operation of common instruments.

This 2 PDH  online course is applicable to electrical and computer engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of electrical test instruments and measuring devices.

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 8 PDH online course is applicable to engineers of all disciplines, as well as technicians, facilities managers and executives who are not intimately familiar with electrical engineering principles and practices.

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 online engineering PDH course provides guidance on the different applications of transformer power system protection of two winding three phase transformers. It explains the different applications, where they are used and the pros and cons for each type of system.

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to electrical engineers that design and or operate power systems that range from 15kV to 480V.

This online engineering PDH course introduces engineers to the National Society of Professional Engineers Code of Ethics. The Code provides ethical guidance to engineers in their various and often simultaneously held roles as 1) guardians of public health, safety, and welfare 2) employees, 3) employers, and 4) providers of technical service to clients.

Engineers practicing their profession encounter not only technical issues but also ethical issues. Sometimes the latter issues are easy to resolve: applying everyday, common-sense notions of honesty, openness, responsibility, and lawfulness is sufficient to guide the engineer to the appropriate decision. At other times, however, matters are more complicated. In particular, knowing what to do when two or more duties or obligations conflict can be difficult. For example, an engineer's duty to his client or employer may conflict with the engineer's duty to the general public. Codes of ethics have been formulated to help engineers address these conflicts.

This 1 PDH online course is intended for all engineers who are interested in gaining a better understanding about how to protect and respect their engineering profession in the utmost manner.
