must have been completed, in particular BOC 107.
Learning Outcomes/Competencies:
At the completion of the Advanced Electrical Systems Diagnostics, a participant
will be able to:
- use troubleshooting skills to solve problems in their facility.
- apply knowledge of electrical systems.
- understand the dynamic relationship between various loads and machinery.
- use meters to determine electrical disruptions.
- identify components of voltage sag, power quality, harmonics, and how they
effect electrical systems.
- know electrical diagnostic terminology.
- accurately describe electrical needs and problems when speaking with vendors
and utility personnel.
- prepare for or assist with a power quality survey of the facility.
- successfully complete the facility project assignment.

Facility Project Assignment:
Describe a power quality upgrade plan for your facility or for part of your
facility. You have two options for this assignment. Pick one and complete
it.
Option #1
If your facility is already practicing excellent power quality, detail what
was done to achieve this and describe a plan for maintaining a high level
of power quality. What ongoing activities are planned to maintain good power
quality?
OR
Option #2
Detail how
you would set up and implement a power quality survey in your facility. Acting
as the facility contact person for the power quality survey, what roles and
responsibilities would you have? List the type of information that would need
to be gathered to assist the power quality surveyors. How long do you think
it would take to complete such a project?
