The first half of
the course will cover the basics of protecting
Distribution and Transmission lines, taught by
Charlie Williams Jr, PE, with Progress Energy
Florida.
The second half of
the course will cover Facility lightning
protection, taught by Frank Dlouhy who is president
of Omega Power Systems, a consulting and
contracting firm that specializes in electrical
protection of facilities.
Lunch will be
served at 11:45 and the class will start at 12:30
promptly.
Below is an
preliminary outline of the second half of the
course.
.
Introduction: The
Six Point Facility Electrical Protection Plan.
- 1) Capture the
Lightning Strike
- 2) Safely
Convey this energy to ground
- 3) dissipate
energy into the grounding system.
- 4) bond all
ground points together
- 5) protect AC
power distribution
- 6) protect
phone and data circuits.
Briefly Cover
Structural Lightning Protection to show
alternatives and to explain why it does NOT protect
electrical, phone, and data circuits. Proper
Grounding and Bonding as it relates to surge and
phone protection is briefly discussed (This becomes
a common theme throughout the
presentation).
Misconceptions of
surge suppression. This section covers everything
from downline warranties for plug in strips to the
effects of Temporary Overvoltages (TOV) on MOV
based suppression
technologies.
AC Power Surge
Protection Applications and guidelines
Telecommunications and data Surge Protection
Applications and guidelines Some testing videos to
have fun with and close the show.
