Power systems and electrical design
From the load schedule to the signed study: electrical design engineering for loads, cables and breakers, ETAP for load flow, short circuit, coordination and arc flash, and motor control for what the drawings feed.
One course at a time. The next unlocks when you are halfway through this one.
Step 1ElectricalBeginnerElectrical Design Engineering: Loads, Cables, Breakers and Distribution
Free electrical design course for engineers: estimate loads, size cables and breakers, draw single-line diagrams. The certificate is optional and paid.
- Revise AC, DC, star, delta, power and power factor
- Estimate loads with demand, diversity and load factors and build a load schedule
- Size capacitor banks and draw panel single-line diagrams
Step 2ElectricalIntermediateETAP Power System Analysis: Load Flow, Short Circuit, Protection, Arc Flash and Stability
Free ETAP course for electrical engineers: load flow, short circuit, protection and arc flash studies. Learning is free; the certificate is optional and paid.
- Model a network in ETAP with nameplate data and run load flow
- Size cables and transformers and use tap changers
- Run IEC 60909 and ANSI short circuit and select breakers by device duty
Step 3ElectricalBeginnerIndustrial Motor Control
Free beginner motor control course: read ladder diagrams, wire starters, build reversing and braking circuits. The certificate is optional and paid.
- Select contactors, relays, overloads, fuses, breakers and transformers
- Read and document motor control ladder diagrams
- Wire manual and magnetic starters with two-wire, three-wire and HOA control
How the path works
Join the path and its first course is added to your account straight away; the next one is added when you are halfway through, so you never face a pile of unstarted courses. Each has its own progress, notes and final. Take them in the order shown: each assumes the one before. Each course has one assessment: a final of 15 questions drawn from every module, pass mark 60%, with 3 attempts and then a 24 hour wait, so the assessment checks that you followed the lessons rather than testing exam nerves.
Questions
- Is the Power systems and electrical design free?
- Yes. Every course in the path is free in full: lessons, notes, practice tasks and assessments. Joining the path adds all of them to your account in one step. The only paid item is the optional EDWartens Certificate of Completion for each course.
- In what order should I take the courses?
- In the order listed: each course assumes the one before it. Every course keeps its own progress, final and certificate, so you can also take one on its own.
- Do I get one certificate for the whole path?
- Certificates are per course, issued when you pass that course's final assessment and bought only if you want them. Finishing every course in a path gives you one certificate per course.
