4 DVD training program taught by Jim Phillips, P.E. $199.   Learn how to perform short circuit analysis / calculations and equipment adequacy evaluations. Understand the importance of X/R ratios, symmetrical vs. asymmetrical faults and how series ratings work. Many calculation examples are used to illustrate how to perform an analysis. The methods are based on the IEEE Violet book and is loaded with many in class examples and problems for a hands on learning experience.

Jim has developed this course based on over 30 years of extensive experience with industrial, commercial and utility power systems. Even instructors from other training companies have attended Jim’s classes to see how it’s done. You will learn how to conduct a short circuit study.

Earn 8 hours of continuing education credit by completing this course and successfully passing the accompanying test.
