Electrical Systems Design for the Non-Electrical Engineer

If you have no formal electrical engineering education, this course will teach you how electrical distribution systems for commercial and industrial buildings are designed and operated. Emphasizing basic electrical concepts rather than rigorous mathematical derivations, expert instructors introduce the fundamental direct current concepts and extend them to single-phase and three-phase alternating current systems. After completing this course you will know how to design low voltage (1,000 volts and below) electrical distribution systems and you will have a sound understanding of the associated codes and standards, as well as the important grounding, power quality, and arc-flash issues.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Identify how electrical distribution systems for commercial and industrial buildings are designed and operated
  • Design low-voltage (1,000V and below) electrical distribution systems in compliance with NEC standards.
  • Understand key concepts such as grounding, power factor, harmonics, and arc flash safety.
  • Apply practical design procedures for lighting, motor, and service circuits using real-world examples.

Who Should Attend:

  • Professionals responsible for electrical systems in commercial, institutional, or industrial facilities.
  • Plant engineers, utility engineers, and electrical contractors without formal EE training.
  • Designers and project managers seeking to improve their understanding of electrical distribution systems.
