ELE 4480 - Electrical Power Systems Quality

2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits

Course Description
This is an advanced course that examines the causes, performs analysis and mitigation of power quality phenomena found in low and medium voltage systems. Topics covered include voltage sags, surges, interruptions, transients, unbalance, power factor correction, harmonic current distortions, and frequency variations.
Prereq: ELE 2011, ELE 3401 (quarter system prereq: EE 2060, EE 3401)
