Principles of HVDC Transmission Author: Velimir Lackovic Designers must decide between AC and DC transmission. This course addresses this challenge by exploring line losses and their relationship to the rating and size of chosen conductors. This course is suitable for engineers with a desire to understand the basic principles... Learn More

Practical Power Cable Ampacity Analysis Author: Velimir Lackovic Cable ampacity studies calculate the current-carrying capacity (ampacity) of power cables in underground or above ground installations. This ampacity is determined by the maximum allowable conductor temperature. In turn, this temperature is dependent on the losses in the cable, both I2R... Learn More

Power Quality Measurements – Essential Theory Author: Velimir Lackovic The decline in quality of power is a big issue due to an increase in the use of inverters in power electronics, an increase of unbalanced loads from large furnaces or rectifiers, and complex power distribution associated with power network...

Overcurrent Protection Fundamentals Author: Velimir Lackovic Protecting relays against high current was the earliest relay protection mechanism developed. From this basic method, the graded overcurrent relay protection system, a discriminative short circuit protection, has been formulated. This course is provides an overview of overcurrent protection fundamentals. It presents coordination... Learn More

Arc Flash Basics and Hazard Planning Program Author: Velimir Lackovic This course gives an overview of arc flash hazards and explains the different causes, nature, findings, directions and processes related with arc flash hazards. An electric arc or an arcing fault is a flashover of electric current through air... Learn More

Arc Flash Calculation Methods Author: Velimir Lackovic This course provides an overview of arc flash hazard computations as specified by IEEE and NFPA. Students are encouraged to consult the standards for additional details. It is suitable for engineers with a desire to understand procedures for completing arc flash studies.... Learn More
