Medium Voltage
Motor & Drive
System School
|
GE and TM GE are pleased to offer a Medium Voltage [MV] Motor & Drive Systems School in Salem, Virginia for its customers. The school covers adjustable speed drives and motors, power system equipment, design concepts and criteria.
Question
|
Answer
|
What is the MV Systems School?
|
The MV ASD & Systems School covers:
- Medium Voltage [MV] Adjustable Speed Drives [ASDs]
- MV induction and synchronous motors
- MV drive and motor compatibility, and power quality
- Selection criteria for MV versus LV drives
- MV hands-on lab drive session
- MV Power systems design concepts and criteria, including harmonic and power factor control, short circuit & load flow analysis, packaging & installation
- MV Power systems equipment in systems containing MV drives, including substations & switchgear, protective relaying, motor control, and transformers.
|
What is the cost of the school?
|
There is no charge for tuition or materials. Daily lunches are included as well as an evening event. Participants are responsible for their own travel and living costs and arrangements.
|
Who would benefit?
|
Those involved in the selection, specification, or application of industrial Medium Voltage drives, motors, and related MV power systems and distribution equipment.
|
When?
|
The school is presented from May 16-19, 2006.
Classes run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day.
|
Where?
|
TM GE Automation Systems
1501 Roanoke Blvd., Salem, Virginia
Meeting in the TM GE Auditorium
|
Can I get credit for professional growth?
|
For those who attend, TM GE Automation will offer each participant clear documentation of classroom hours, course content, and instructor qualifications, plus a certificate documenting their participation. In past schools, many participants have found these useful in their professional growth.
